Lyrics
Sweet little Cherry got her hands in her pockets and she's waiting for a downtown train High heel boots with the straps hung low And her head hanging down in shame The wolves all dress up just like sheep and the go and hit the town Cherry never sees 'em But they're hanging all around Sweet little Cherry got a switchblade Jimmy Come and take her down to 4th and Main Her mind in a haze of the better days Before her body was an ad campaign But now the filthy crooks and pocketbooks Are all that Cherry sees The dashboard dogs and backseat hogs and Down onto her knees I am tempted, I am weak I'm too weak to try to speak I am tempted, I'm ashamed Yeah, I'm ashamed and I'm to blame You'll see Yeah I'm tempted by the cherry tree You'll see Yeah I'm tempted by the cherry tree Sweet little Cherry took the last bus home In the middle of the pouring rain She saw the bad boys sleeping and the good girls weeping Through the fog on the window panes And Cherry wants to make it right But she never has a prayer Cuz as long as there are bad boys They'll be penny millionaires
