Lyrics for Dirty Little Lover

She loves almost as good as she lies She pretends almost as hard as she tries Desperation she wears it so well Flips on her electric light lightning in her bed She is the kind of woman Only a town like this could produce Just mean enough to hang a man Just kind enough to cut the noose Reached into her purse to pull out her disguise Put it on her lips then she put it on her eyes A little lonesome would do her some good She'd only come out at night if she could She is the kind of woman Only a town like this could produce Just mean enough to hang a man Just kind enough to cut the noose She does it the hard way Or she don't do it at all Dirty little lover Who you gonna call? She's her daddy's karma And her mother's suit of armor The bright light in a man's dark eyes Spent all her money wasting all of her time She is the kind of woman Only a town like this could produce Just mean enough to hang a man Just kind enough to cut the noose She does it the hard way Or she don't do it at all Dirty little lover Who you gonna call?
