Pretty Mess

I can't take you home with me
 Too bad 'cuz it's so hard to be
 In love with no place to go.
 You've got no home except this place you come
 Surviving selling drugs doesn't seem so fun
 But you're still so carefree.
 In the cold dark night we can hide.
 On the fire escape while the junkies inside
 Worry about their next fix.
 Chewing gum and holding hands
 My friends would never understand
 Why I fell for you...
 Such a pretty mess, you ripped the dress
 The dress you borrowed
 Drowning in your sorrows outside the club.
 In the cold dark night we can hide.
 On the fire escape while the junkies inside
 Worry about their next fix.
 Chewing gum and holding hands
 My friends would never understand
 Why I fell for you...
 Innocent and playful, you remind me
 Of a little child
 And all I ask is that you, you find me
 Once in a while
 Once in a while...
