Dollars, Dope and Diamonds Lyrics

She's in the city, far from home

So young, so pretty and pretty prone

To someone so shifty, but leave her alone, you scumbag

You're almost four times her age

You get close to forty times her wage

And you're just throwing parties with loose change

Leave her alone, you toe-rag

Hearts, hopes and hymens; dollars, dope and diamonds

Pussy's in the well from a marriage made in hell

Of hearts, hopes, dollars, dope and diamonds

Naively drawn to a seat at your table

You stroke her ego and charm her like you're rocking the cradle

While stifling the warnings from her guardian angel who looks on in horror

It's all for show to show you're such a big shot

With a heart of gold, no threat; what me? what?

Little does she know it's all part of the delicate plot you've cooked up so thorough

No, she never imagined it to be so easy

A brand new friend, so disarming, so pleasing

And so you're there, slithering, sleazy hooking her into your Gomorra

Momma sends her love; she's a little pensive

Her baby's tensing up, and a little defensive

No, no, no, she's not telling all but that's just independence

Not calling and yet falling into a life sentence

Enthralled by the essence of that

Tasty bait with no apparent danger

No time to wait with her new gallant stranger

Who pays her way for what's an occasional favour

But at the end of the day, she's slave labour

Hearts, hopes and hymens; dollars, dope and diamonds

Pussy's in the well in a marriage made in hell

Of hearts, hopes, dollars dope and diamonds

Hearts, hopes, dollars, dope and diamonds
