Lyrics
Close Call
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.
She was born on a bright new pew
To a gypsy mother and a bucket of tears
Her good looks could've sailed a ship
But her will alone could've sunk it
Funny thing about money for sex
You might get rich but you'll die by it
It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Tell me now, what would you do
Hanging back with the brooms
Hustlin', pick pocket,
Thats the way to get rich
It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call (x3)
(oooh, aahhh, ahhh)(x2)
Business men with good sense
If you live at all, you're gonna die by it
Funny thing about money for sex
You might get rich but then
It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call (x3)
(oooh, aahhh, ahhh) (x4)
