Hey pretty darlin'

Still faking, counterfit, yeah (ooh Lord)
Trying to find the one that she
Can make the best of it (ooh yeah)
But it's so hard to find her a lover
That she can click with (ooh nah)
So she dances and she dances
Through the night (oh yeah)
Lap dances as she dances to the light (oh yeah)
No chance for the romances in her life (oh)
But there's one man that she'll ride for
