	The streets are wet.
	The lights have yet
	to shed their tawdry lustre on the scene.
	My skirt's too short,
	my tights have run.
	These new heels are killing me.

	My second pack of cigarettes.
	It's a slow night but there's time yet.
	Here comes John from his other life.
	He may be driving to his wife,
	but he'll slow down, take a look.
	I've learned to read them just like books.
	And it's already half past ten,
	but they'll be back again.

	Headlights in the rainy street.
	I check, make sure it's not the heat.
	I wink, I smile, I wave my hand.
	He stops and seems to understand
	the small transaction we must make.
	I tell him that my heart will break
	if he's not a generous man.
	I step into his van.

	The say the first is the hardest trick.
	After that it's just a matter of logic.
	They have the money, I have the time.
	Being pretty's my only crime.
	You ask what future do I see?
	I say it's really up to me.
	I don't need forgiving.
	I'm just making a living.

	Don't judge me.
	You could be me in another life.
	In another set of circumstances.
	Don't judge me.
	One more night, I'll just have to take my chances
	and tomorrow we'll see.

	A friend of mine he wound up dead.
	His dress was stained the colour red.
	No next of kin, no fixed abode.
	Another victim on this road.
	The police just carted him away,
	but someone took his place next day.
	He was home by thanksgiving
	but not with the living.

	Don't judge me.
	You could be me in another life.
	In another set of circumstances.
	Don't judge me.
	One more night, I'll just have to take my chances.

	And no, it's just not in my plan
	for someone to care who I am.

	I'm walking the streets for money.
	It's the business of love, "Hey honey!
	C'mon!  Don't leave me lonely, don't leave me sad.
	It'll be the sweetest five minutes you ever had!"

	Don't judge me.
	You could be me in another life.
	In another set of circumstances.
	Don't judge me.
	One more night, I'll just have to take my chances,
	and tomorrow we'll see.
