Asking For Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well she has got, a pretty face
And everybody in here
Wants to know her name
So, she sits down
The bartender buys her round
Says "whatcha doin' in this town?"
"Whatcha doin' in this town?"
Hey there's a woman in the bar
Who's got the power now yeah!
Numbers are flying
Spinning around
All the boys are trying
Her fingers are grippin'
And the bar is slippin'
But one by one
The boys comes asking for love
Hey wait a minute
What makes you think
You're what I'm here for
I came here to drink
Oh c'mon I've heard those words before
But I ain't your small town
You're small town whore
Hey there's a woman in the bar
Who's got the power now yeah!
Numbers are flying
Spinning around
All the boys are trying
Her fingers are grippin'
And the bar is slippin'
But one by one
The boys comes asking for love
Hey there's a woman in the bar
Who's got the power now yeah!
Numbers are flying
Spinning around
All the boys are trying
Her fingers are grippin'
And the bar is slippin'
But one by one
The boys comes asking for love
