1) Lesson number one when you're a girl like me
Is not to take the bull from anyone
Lesson number two is learn to recognise
The more they say they're right the more they're wrong
But how can you try to tell the world
When they're united against you
That they are really no better
So what else can you do?

Ch.) Ok so I'm the prostitute
But I mean no harm
Each time I walk across the street
Someone else is up in arms
But I'm getting used to it

2) I walk into a room a thousand faces turn
I notice they all look the other way
Fingers pointing and 'good' women sneer
But they do not have a lot to say
They think they are superior
But why I'll never know
Cos' they're slimy and selfish and hypocrites
And I just wish they'd go

Ch.)

3) Hey you... Mr. presidents wife
I see you in your fur coat and your hat
But in return you slept with and you married him
Ooh you must have been desperate to do that
And you... Mr. filthy rich
How'd you ever get to be a millionaire?
You lied a bit, played your fancy tricks
Well you stood on people just to get there
And you... Miss primrose proper
You look so shocked by what I do
But I don't go stealing from the corner shop
Can the same be said about you?
Hey you... Mr. working guy
Why do you look right down on me?
I've served your friends, I've served your boss, I've even served your brother
Why won't you let me be?

Ch.) Ok so I'm the prostitute
But I have no qualms
Each time I walk across the street
Someone else is up in arms
Ok so I'm the prostitute
But I mean no harm
Each time... etc.
