Sweetheart Like You Lyrics

Official lyrics for Sweetheart Like You, performed by Rod Stewart.

Well the pressure's down,  the boss ain't here  he's gone North for a while  They said that vanity  Got the best of him  But he sure left here after sundown.  By the way, that's a cute hat that you're wearing  And that smile so hard to resist  What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?  You know I once knew a woman who looked like you  She wanted a whole man, not just a half  She used to call me Sweet Daddy, when I was a child  You kind of remind me of her when you laugh  To deal in this game, you must make the queen disappear  It's done with a flick of the wrist  What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?  You know a woman like you should be at home  It's where you truly belong  Watching out for someone who loves you true  Who would never never do you no wrong  Just how much abuse you can take? - Well,  There's no way to tell by that first lonely kiss  What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?  You know you could make a name of yourself  You can hear those tyres squeal  You can be known as the most beautiful woman  Whoever crawled across cut glass to make a deal ...  You know the news of you has come down the line  Even before you came in the door  They say in your father's house there's many mansions  Each one of them got a fire-proof floor  Snap out of it Baby, people are jealous of you  They smile in your face, but behind your back they hiss  What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?  Got to be an important person to come in here honey  Got to have done some evil deed  Got to have your own harm when you come in the door  Got to play your harp until your lips bleed ...  They say patriotism is the last refuge  To which a scoundrel claime  Steal a little, and they'll throw you in jail  Steal a lot, and they'll make you a king  There's only one step down from here Baby  It's the land of the permanent bliss -  So what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
