 she said i never seen a man, who looks so all alone, could you use a little
 company?
  (slide)
 if you pay the right price, your evening will be nice, you can go and send
 me on my  way,
 i said your  such a sweet young thing, why'd  you do this to yourself?
 she looked  at me and this is what she  said.
 
 there  aint no  rest  for the wicked, money dont grow on trees, i got bills to

 dollar bills but even still i cant say much cause i know her all the same, oh yes
 all seek out to satisfy those thrills.
