Lucy

I was lying on the bed, underpaid and overdressed, only seventeen

Taste of spirit on my breath, mixed with cigarettes and Listerine

Said her name was Lucy whilst she eats up the pornography off the telly

Puts her hands on my chest and says, "Babe, get undressed, when you're ready"

I said you don't even know my name

Do you mind if we talk some more?

See I came here with all my mates

They're probably waiting outside the door

Oh, Lucy, baby

You don't have to sleep with me

We'll be strangers in an hour's time

So maybe, I'll just pay for your company

Tell me all the things that you love

That you hate

Does this keep you awake?

Are you satisfied?

Oh, Lucy, baby

Can we just talk tonight?

So she hands me a beer and says, "Why are you here if you're frigid?"

I reply to the floor, "I've never done this before, I admit it"

So the lads got me high, said it's happening tonight and we're paying

She smiled and said, "Babe, you don't have to stay if they're waiting"

So I asked her if she'd give a shit

If we pretend we're doing it right now

'Cause I'll never hear the end of it

If any of the boys ever find out

Oh, Lucy, baby

You don't have to sleep with me

We'll be strangers in an hour's time

So maybe, I'll just pay for your company

Tell me all the things that you love

That you hate

Does this keep you awake?

Are you satisfied?

Oh, Lucy, baby

Can we just talk tonight?

When the hour's done we step outside

I get a standing ovation

She said the pleasure was all mine tonight

I won't forget our conversation

Oh, Lucy, baby

You don't have to sleep with me

We'll be strangers in an hour's time

So maybe, I'll just pay for your company

Tell me all the things that you love

That you hate

Does this keep you awake?

Are you satisfied?

Oh, Lucy, baby

Can we just talk tonight?
