What Do Pretty Girls Do? lyrics

It's time now to pick all the toys off the floor

I'll say it again and I've said it before

We don't have a nickel to spend at the store

And don't run away from me now

Your daddy's gone looking to find him a job

Your grandmother's sent all her welfare to God

Your brother's been taking it out on the dog

So don't run away from me now

I walked down by the river where we used to go
And underneath the bridge where we first kissed
The old town that we knew is dead and gone
Gone
The sickly sun shines grayly through the mist
And like the love we used to know
The poisoned river waters flow
And then they’re gone
For some of us still life moves on

Our love is just a relic of the past
