The Bribe
I placed an ad in the paper
you’ll find it there today
the words reveal the way I feel
this is what they say
situation wanted
young and fancy-free
want to meet a someone
I want him just for me
I’m not a saint nor a sinner
I walk the middle ground
I’ll stay right on the level
to smart to play around
love is all that matters
that’s the thing I’ve learned
and the sky’s the limit where
my gentleman’s concerned
gettin’ tired of waitin’
gettin’ kind of blue
situation wanted
with someone but who?
situation wanted
young and fancy-free
want to meet a someone
I want him just for me
I’m not a saint nor a sinner
I walk the middle ground
I’ll stay right on the level
to smart to play around
love is all that matters
that’s the thing I’ve learned
a woman’s always needed where
a gentleman’s concerned
now you know my story
what an I to do?
situation wanted
with someone but whoooo?
