"Respectable" lyrics

Respectable

Well, now we're respected in society
We don't worry about the things
That we used to be
We're talking heroin
With the president
Well it's a problem, sir
But it can't be bent
Oh, yes

Well, now you're a pillar of society
You don't worry about the things
That you used to be
You're a rag-trade girl
You're the queen of porn
You're the easiest lay
On the White House lawn

Get out of my life
Don't come back
Get out of my life
Don't come back

She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so delectable
She's so respectable

Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
What I say

She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so respectable

Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
Oh, get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back

She's so respectable
She's so respectable
She's so delectable
She's so respectable

Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
Get out of life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back

Get out of my life
Don't take my wife
Don't come back
Come back, hey
