Lady Of The Night

They call her the lady of the night
She's a woman of the world
and easy-living girl with love for sale
that's what they call her the lady of the night
no one seems to know her name
and even less about the place from where she came
Every evening when the night is close at hand
you'll find the lady on the rue d'Avignon
In a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmly
It's just a job but she'll do the best she can

Don't try to change this lady of the night
She's a lot like you and me
and less than what she seems to be

(She is the lady of the night)
and easy-living girl
She's a woman of the world
with lots of loving for sale
lady lady of the night

Round here they call her the lady of the night
In a perfumed hotel room
shadows dance upon the wall and fade at dawn
She's no beginner this lady of the night
Never try that funny stuff
'cause lady can be tough
be warned!

(She is the lady of the night)
She's a lot like you and me
and never just what she seems
no one seems to know her name
or the place from where she came
