| I’ve been in love with many a stranger |
| Knowing the danger, I’ve been in love |
| Say what I am, or, what you call me |
| Because what you call me, that’s what I am |
| I’ve seen the world and all its fools, and I know the life |
| I’ve dipped into the bowl and I might try |
| I never needed anyone, especially your wife |
| But maybe that’s the reason why |
| I’m not ashamed of being a fire |
| Bending like wire, that’s what I am |
| You can treat me like any other |
| Maybe my mother never wanted a man |
| I’ve seen the world and all its fools |
| And I know the life |
| I’ve dipped into the bowl and I might try |
| I never needed anyone, especially your wife |
| But maybe that’s the reason why |
| Pity |
| Pity |
| Pity, ahh |
| Pity |
