- Intro G/D/C/D (x4)
G D C D They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot
G D C DWho was looking for a man of steel
- G D C D
Who would fill up her nights with forget-me-nots
G D C D And a dream no one else could reveal
G D C DHer new man said to meet him at eight
G D C DShe came in dressed to the nines
- G D C D
But by ten it was clear he was more than late
G D C D And she just wouldn't take it this time
Em DThe bartender said she had had enough
G CThat he'd call a cab to take her somewhere
- Em D
But she wasn't a stranger to loneliness
G C She had grown up and spent her life there
CHORUS- G D
Up until then, up until then
C Em It happened over and over again
G D C DUp until then, up until then, up until then
G D C DWell practice had increased her tolerance
- G D C D
And she had hardly eaten all day
G D C D She was all hyped up on her new romance
G D C DBut she drank in the usual way
G D C DShe stepped out to breathe and to dry her eyes
- G D C D
To check her machine just in case
G D C D He had called to excuse or apologize
G D C DWhen she saw his unpenitent face
Em DHe approached with a girl she had seen before
- G C
A bimbo up from Raspberry Street
Em D When he saw her he laughed and so did the whore
G CThey dropped a ten dollar bill at their feet
CHORUS[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: G/D/C/D (x2)]
G D C DShe was small he was tall but she blocked his path
G D C DShe explained in unprintable words
- G D C D
The reason she seized him so full of wrath
G D C D That more than half of the neighborhood heard
G D C DShe sprayed him with mace from her pocketbook
G D C DAnd then kicked in his personal zones
- G D C D
Her high heels would ruin his perfect looks
G D C D She left a couple of unbroken bones
Em DWell the bimbo she ran in to get the cops
G CBut the owner had called from the bar
- Em D
It took two cars with dogs just to make her stop
G C I'm told that's how some women are
CHORUS
G D C DThey dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot
- G D C D
But she would suffer in no permanent way
G D C D She spent thirty nights on a county cot
G D C DAnd she's regarded with fear till this day
G DUp until then, but never again
- C Em
It happened over and over again
G D C D Up until then, up until then, up until then
Em DNow she's tending bar where the Pagans
used to meet
CAnd he's living with that bimbo up on
D GRaspberry Street
