All Of The Women

She's been a fixture as long as I've lived here
 On the corner most every night for the last six years
 When she's not there
 When she's not there
 When she's not there
 I worry about her
 Worry about her
 I think of all of the women
 All of the women
 All of the women
 Who disappear
 Who disappear
 
 We've made friendly acquaintance, sometimes we talk
 She likes the way that I smile
 And sing as I walk
 I like her fabulous outfits, the proud way she moves
 She says, "I used to be a dancer
 Some grace you don't lose
 Some grace you don't lose
 I made some choices, some were made for me
 For the way I survive, I make no apology
 Everybody and somebody don't always meet up
 I'm the salvation for those left without
 For those left without living small lies
 What I provide, can't be measured in nickels and dimes
 In nickels and dimes"

 I ask, "What about the bad dates, don't you ever get scared?"
 "Well I've had my share, honey, but it's fear I can bear
 It's fear I can bear
 'Cause I'm stronger than eggshells, I'm tougher than luck
 I've never been despised so much or hit so hard, or hit so hard
 I couldn't get back up (I couldn't get back up)
 I couldn't get back up (I couldn't get back up)
 I couldn't get back up"
