My old man is a bad man but

I can't deny the way he holds my hand

 And he grabs me, he has me by my heart

He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past

 He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me

 He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

 Swimming pool glimmering darling

White bikini off with my red nail polish

Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples

 You sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah

 Light of my life, fire of my loins

Be a good baby, do what I want

Light of my life, fire of my loins

 Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins

 And I'm off to the races, cases

of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town

 Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing

Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out

 Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me

 I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden

Kiss me on my open mouth

 Ready for you

 My old man is a tough man but

He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam

 And he shows me, he knows me

 Every inch of my tar black soul

He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life

 In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me

 Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone

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

Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup

Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume

Says it feels like heaven to him

 Light of his life, fire of his loins

Keep me forever, tell me you own me

Light of your life, fire of your loins

Tell me you own me, gimme them coins

 And I'm off to the races, cases

of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town

 Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing

Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out

 Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me

 I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden

Kiss me on my open mouth

 Now I'm off to the races, laces

Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down

 I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement

Love you but I'm going down

 God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving

 I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island

Raising hell all over town

 Sorry 'bout it

My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end

 But I trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us

Take him when he may, if he may

I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him

 Who else is gonna put up with me this way?

I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you

They would rue the day I was alone without you

You're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips

 I said "Hon' you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man."

 And we're off to the races, places

Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in

 to Las Vegas pay us, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin

 Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe

 You are my one true love, you are my one true love

 You are my one true love
