[Verse]
She was a 42nd street walker
Hangin' out down by the cheap hotel
See an old floosey flopping in the wind
Titties and all
That's right
[Chorus 1]
She right peculiar
She try and fool you
But the girl, she's coming apart
She's so appealing
Right off the ceiling
Yeah, the girl, she's coming apart
What did I tell you
She buy and sell you
Because the girl, she's coming apart
She's so affected
I'm so rejected
And the girl, she's coming apart
[Post-Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it get me down
Don't let it get my down
Down, down, down, down, down
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 2]
She's just a screamer
A nightmare dreamer
Yeah, the girl, she's coming apart
She's like a call girl
Loose ends and all girl
But the girl, she's coming apart
White lace and leather
She's so together
But the girl keeps coming apart
I feel sedated
Boxed up and crated
Because the girl, she's coming apart
[Post-Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Let it get me down
Don't let it get my down
[Outro]
So there she was
Buns up and kneelin'
I was a wheelin and a dealin'
My ace in the hole so to speak
