lyrics

You came into this small town
And at first seemed unaware
How that ebony skin and double Ds
Can make everybody stare
You left your boyfriend home
But kept him on a string
Cuz he’d give you everything
Even twice gave you his ring
And each time
You’d tell him “No,” but you’d kiss him
So he’d feel there’s still a chance
While you’d sneak out late with other men

But when your sultry pout
Wrinkles up your mouth
And you’ve tarnished those pearly whites
When that rack droops down
Twenty years from now
You’ll see what the real world’s like

You don’t pay parking tickets
Cuz you smooth talk to the cops
And you get free cappuccinos
At the local coffee shop
It seems with just a wink and wiggle you receive
Almost anything you please
Except the one thing you need: a lobotomy.
To extract out all that bullshit
That makes you think you’re a star
While they fight for bragging rights down at the bar

But when your sultry pout
Wrinkles up your mouth
And you’ve tarnished those pearly whites
When you’re all stretched out
Thirty years from now
You’ll see what the real world’s like


You said that you’d marry for security
Cuz there’s no guarantee on love
But when your sugar daddy sees you hit thirty
You’ll be tossed out for some younger desperate broad


When your sultry pout
Wrinkles up your mouth
And you’ve tarnished those pearly whites
When your hair falls out
Forty years from now
You’ll see what the real world’s like
