A dollar a danceIt’s three deep at the bar It’s a dollar for beer The girls ! man they’re nice Some are pretty young too... Carmen’s a regular Rhinestones and minidress ! If you’re shy, she don’t mind She talk to you If you get tired of dancing You can shoot a little pool But don’t lean on the tables Cause that’s against the rules ! Sometimes the older ones They come right up to you And they’re so good at fakin When they say I love you A penny for your thoughts A dollar a dance will do ! A penny for your thoughts A dollar a dance will do ! Like she says, it’s Saturday night What else is there to do? You want to feel like a man A dollar a dance will do! We’re working hard all day It’s dust and sweat for pay And home is a postcard, but it feels far away I have to leave this mess You know I could’nt stay, not with all this killing Going on everyday ! It’s been five years already Will you wait for five more? When I get my papers Can it be like before? I’ll send you more money Believe me when I say When I’m done paying rent There’s nothing left for play It’s been tough around here Without the green card They just won’t hire you ! They treat you like the plague Got noone to turn to You got to watch your mouth Someone might tell on you ! Women they go hungry Too many kids to feed Tonight might bring $50 Hardly covers their needs So they loan their bodies Take your turn for the grind There’s so much longin It weighs heavy on the mind Oh it’s Saturday night And what else can I do? I want to feel like a man A simple dance will do It’s Saturday night Tell me what should I do I want to feel like a man And I’m here without you I wanna feel like a man A simple dance will do I wanna feel like man I gotta pay for that too Oh it’s Saturday night And what else can I do? Wanna feel like a man A simple dance will do It’s Saturday night Tell me what can I do I wanna feel like a man It’s so hard to be true Make me feel like a man Oh I’ll pay for that too Girl will you hold me tight Say will a dollar do? Carmen... Can we dance? Can we dance? |
