It's a cold winter's night
The east side of Chicago
She glides across the floor
To wash the tables down
Well no one knows her name
She's one of a kind that can't be tamed
She works hard to make her pay
But she's a hard luck woman everybody says
"Well she's gone, gone the little girls gone"
She's a smooth talking mama she's got the moves
She ain't got nothing, nothing to lose
She works a room with just one look
Don't play fair never by the book
As it says in the magazines
Sow your seeds and you'll have your dreams
But she's a woman with a hole in her heart
A hard luck woman right from the start
"Well she's gone, gone the little girls gone"
"Well she's gone, gone the little girls gone"
She wants a man to take her out
But she can't get along cause she's full of doubt
She got the want he's got the needs
But she ain't nobodies squeeze
When she was young her mama said
No time for Ken and Barbie if you wanna wed
You'll have to work a little harder Bea
To get what you want and keep what you need
So don't wait for the one to come along
And don't settle for just anyone
And don't wish on no falling stars
And never forget the woman the woman you are
"Well she's gone, gone the little girls gone"
"Well she's gone, gone the little girls gone"
"Well she's gone, gone the little girls gone"
"Well she's gone, gone the little girls gone"
