MONEY, KEYS. LIPSTICK...

I ring on the phone and say let's make a date
You say "pick me up, and don't be late"
I get in my car and I race across town
A man would be crazy to let you down
Past the traffic and lights, the whores and barfights
There's a bus on the corner and I can't make a right
Finally I roll onto your block
The whole time I've been eyeing that clock

I pull up to your house and I stroll through your gate
Glance at my watch exactly quarter to eight
I'll just grab a quick smoke then I knock on the door
I let myself in and there's clothes on the floor

Baby, I love you
I race and then I wait for you
Sugar, I need you
But all you have to say to me is
Money and keys, lipstick, ID's, lighter, smokes and gum
Money and keys, lipstick, ID's, lighter smokes and gum

I see my favorite black dress and a picture of you
Your purse dumped out and twenty pairs of shoes
You take three phone calls in the next room
Checking yourself every time you walk through
All the things you do just to go out
Would make another poor soul scream and shout
But I don't mind 'cause it's just time
And you look so good I'm so happy that your mine

Baby, I love you
I race and then I wait for you
Sugar, I want you
But all you have to say to me
Money and keys, lipstick, ID's, lighter, smokes, and gum
Money and keys, lipstick, ID's, lighter, smokes, and gum
