My old man is a bad man but

I can't deny the way he holds my hand
    Em               Em
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart

He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
                        Em
He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me
             Em
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Em
Swimming pool glimmering darling

White bikini off with my red nail polish
Em7         Em
Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
           Em
You sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah

Em
Light of my life, fire of my loins

Be a good baby, do what I want
Em
Light of my life, fire of my loins
              Em
Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins

             Em
And I'm off to the races, cases

of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
         C
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing

Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
      D         Bm7
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
            C7M
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden

Kiss me on my open mouth
     Em
Ready for you

Em
My old man is a tough man but

He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
    Em
And he shows me, he knows me
   Em
Every inch of my tar black soul

He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
                                 Em
In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me
             Em
Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone

Em
Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont

Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup
Em                  Em
Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume

Says it feels like heaven to him

Em
Light of his life, fire of his loins

Keep me forever, tell me you own me
Em
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Em
Tell me you own me, gimme them coins

           Em
And I'm off to the races, cases

of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
               C
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing

Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
      D        Bm7
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
            C7M
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden

Kiss me on my open mouth

            Em
Now I'm off to the races, laces

Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down
         C
I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement

Love you but I'm going down
       D          Bm7
God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
            C7M
I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island

Raising hell all over town
        Em
Sorry 'bout it

Em                                          Am
My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end
 Em                     Am
But I trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us

Take him when he may, if he may
Em
I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
           Am
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?

I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you
Em
They would rue the day I was alone without you
Am
You're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips
                       Em
I said "Hon' you never looked so beautiful 
     D
as you do now, my man."

             Em
And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in
    C
to Las Vegas caos, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin
         D         Bm7
Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe
       C7m
You are my one true love, you are my one true love

    Em  C  D Bm

      C7M
You are my one true love

Em C D Bm C7M Em
