《Fancy》歌词

[00:00:00] Fancy - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)

[00:00:12] Well I remember it all very well lookin' back

[00:00:15] Was the summer I turned eighteen

[00:00:17] Lived in a one room rundown shack

[00:00:20] On the outskirts of New Orleans

[00:00:22] We didn't have money for food or rent

[00:00:24] To say the least we were hard pressed

[00:00:27] Mama spent every last penny we had

[00:00:29] To buy me a dancin' dress

[00:00:32] Mama washed and combed and curled my hair

[00:00:35] And she painted my eyes and lips

[00:00:37] Then I stepped into a satin' dancin' dress

[00:00:39] That had a split on the side

[00:00:41] Clean up to my hip

[00:00:43] It was red velvet trim and it fit me good

[00:00:47] Standin' back from the lookin' glass

[00:00:49] There stood a woman

[00:00:50] Where a half grown kid had stood

[00:00:52] She said here's your one chance

[00:00:54] Fancy don't let me down

[00:00:57] She said here's your one chance

[00:00:59] Fancy don't let me down

[00:01:05] Mama dabbled a little bit of perfume

[00:01:07] On my neck and she kissed my cheek

[00:01:10] And then I saw the tears wellin' up

[00:01:11] In her troubled eyes as she started to speak

[00:01:15] She looked at a pitiful shack

[00:01:16] And she looked at me

[00:01:18] And took a ragged breath

[00:01:19] She said your Pa's runned off

[00:01:21] I'm real sick

[00:01:22] And the baby's gonna starve to death

[00:01:25] She handed me a heart shaped locket that said

[00:01:27] To thine own self be true

[00:01:30] And shivered as I watched a roach crawl across

[00:01:32] The toe of my high heeled shoe

[00:01:35] It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'

[00:01:37] Askin' mama what do I do

[00:01:40] She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy

[00:01:42] They'll be nice to you

[00:01:45] She said here's your one chance

[00:01:46] Fancy don't let me down

[00:01:50] Here's your one chance

[00:01:51] Fancy don't let me down

[00:01:54] Lord forgive me for what I do

[00:01:57] But if you want out well it's up to you

[00:02:00] Now don't let me down

[00:02:01] Now your mama's gonna move you uptown

[00:02:08] That was the last time I saw my ma

[00:02:10] Night I left that rickety shack

[00:02:12] The welfare people came and took the baby

[00:02:15] Mama died and I ain't been back

[00:02:17] But the wheels of fate had started to turn

[00:02:20] And for me there was no way out

[00:02:23] Wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly

[00:02:25] What my mama'd been talkin' about

[00:02:28] I knew what I had to do

[00:02:29] And I made myself this solemn vow

[00:02:33] That I's gonna be a lady someday

[00:02:35] Though I didn't know when or how

[00:02:37] But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life

[00:02:40] With my head hung down in shame

[00:02:42] You know I might have been born

[00:02:44] Just plain white trash

[00:02:45] But Fancy was my name

[00:02:47] She said here's your one chance

[00:02:49] Fancy don't let me down

[00:02:52] She said here's your one chance

[00:02:54] Fancy don't let me down

[00:03:00] Wasn't long after that benevolent man

[00:03:02] Took me off the street

[00:03:05] One week later I was pourin' his tea

[00:03:07] In a five room hotel suite

[00:03:09] And she why

[00:03:10] And charmed a king a congressman

[00:03:12] And an occasional aristocrat

[00:03:15] And then I got me a Georgia mansion

[00:03:17] And an elegant New York townhouse flat

[00:03:19] And I ain't done bad she ain't done bad

[00:03:30] Now in this world

[00:03:31] There's a lot of self righteous hypocrites

[00:03:33] Call me bad bad

[00:03:35] Criticize mama for turning me out

[00:03:38] No matter how little we had

[00:03:40] But though I ain't had to worry 'bout

[00:03:42] Nothing for nigh on fifteen years

[00:03:45] Well I can still hear the desperation

[00:03:47] In my poor mama's voice ringin' in my ears

[00:03:50] Here's your one chance

[00:03:51] Fancy don't let me down

[00:03:55] Oh here's your one chance

[00:03:57] Fancy don't let me down

[00:04:00] Lord forgive me for what I do

[00:04:03] But if you want out well it's up to you

[00:04:05] Now don't let me down

[00:04:06] Now your mama's gonna move you uptown

[00:04:12] Oh and I guess she did
