Tawdry

Written with Tony Bennett in mind

You seem like another sort

Pushing your flower cart

And humming those tunes

Smiling at us buffoons

You're so special to me

'cause I know...

You're so tawdry

At the cafe you sip your tea

You ignore only me

I can tell you're chaotic

You may be exotic

But I know...

You're so tawdry

You pretend to be

So pretty and free

Behind those blue eyes

You can't fool me

I could set your heart free

And under it all...

You're so tawdry

Why must you wait

Every morning at eight

You're pretty brown hair

It's just too much to bare

I'd take a dozen or two

Just to be with you...

You're so tawdry
