Here I stand like a statue on a pedestal
You file past like tourists on parade
Night after night after night.

Pay me to perform to delight you and tease you
I dance and I sing
Night after night after night.

I’m sick and tired of watching you watching me
I’m tired of listening while you try to score
Can’t you see I’m not public property
I don’t want to be here anymore

You don’t know how to treat me
Treat me like a lady.

Buy me a drink, try to impress me
You’d buy me flowers if you thought you could undress me
Night after night after night.

Tell me a secret to show me you can trust me
Make a joke to amuse or disgust me
Night after night after night,

But I’m sick and tired of watching you watching me
You make me feel like a tired old whore
Can’t you see that I’m not public property
I don’t want to be here anymore.

You don’t know how to treat me
Treat me like a lady.
