She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose, She's got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right, Makes her money one dollar at a time. Without the makeup, nobody knows her name, And she wears the pain
Black tears, rolling down, From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town She reveals, and they all cheer, Then she cries, black tears
Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she's convinced, The boss man is still a friend she needs. She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine, Anything to hide the pain for a little while The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes, You can tell she knows it when she cries
Black tears, rolling down From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town, White lights on the mirror, Just won't hide, black tears
She tries and tries so hard to get away But everybody's watching
Black tears, rolling down, From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town, If all the pain would just disappear She'd quit cryin', yeah she'd quit cryin', Black tearsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
