Pro-Girl

Standing on the corner, waiting for who to come by

You laugh only to cry and aid the blind

Let's go, girl

If mother only knew you lived through all the books she hid

Them that can't do, teach, your pimp has said

and you're a pro, girl

Now if flesh were the only thing you sold, might be all right

but for just five pounds, you also sell a smile

Mothers warn their kids Watch out for this

Red lights change slow

Pro-girl, you know girl

Sell your soul for a sum, and it's taken by a john

Bargain well, girl

Now you want a life of loving, and it can be bought, although

some of the best things in life are free

Don't blow it, girl

Mothers would but daren't be you, keep it locked with guns

They say Something must be done! but send their sons

so show it, girl

The headlines scream about your life, and they pretend to see you

Make you lie about the why of what you are, don't scream, girl

Serve them all, have a ball

Writers dream, but only you know

Pro-girl, you know girl

Sell your soul for a sum, and it's taken by a john

Bargain well, girl

And you're looking for a man who won't want to buy your time

You're searching down an alleyway, a garbage can

Forget it, babe

It hurts to say you work your way on through the streets of hell

only looking for yourself to put up on a shelf

Don't let it, babe

You'll find a guy, a god, and it must be love this time

Laying at your side, his shadow splits the night

then waken in the morning, God turns on his side

Says How much do you get, girl?

Pro-girl, you know girl

Sell your soul for a sum. You've been taken by a john

You bargained well, girl

What more do you have to sell

Pro-girl
