I can play the mistress of the senator
Stash me in a comfortable high rise
That's convenient to the Hill
And after making some speech, or singing some bill
You'll drop in for lunch, and if you never take lunch
With me around, you will
I'll play the mistress of the senator
I look good in red or white or blue
I'll friendly to Republicans
I'll be anything for you
I can play advisor to the congressman
Hire me to work on your image
I'll manipulate the press
We'll buy a registered house with a Georgetown address
We'll write the place off as a work expense
And screw the IRS
I'll play advisor the congressman
That's a role that take a lot of soul to do
I'll be useful down in Washington
I'll be anything for you
I need a change of scenery, I need a career
I need a new adventure, and I can't wait another year
I can't wait another day, not when I have you
You need to win important races
I need to play in better places
Let me play the lover of the President
Set up in a wing of the White House
We can share the swimming pool
You'll let me decide who's hot or cool
Important or not, friend or fool
I'll play Lady Bird, Rosalynn, Pat
I'll play Jackie better than Jackie did and not use a hat
I'll play the good wife, the martyr
The asset, the plus
I'll play myself in the movie of us
In the movie of us, in the movie of us
You need a lover, I'll be your lover
I'll stay your lover, I'll be
I'll be—
I'll be happy down in Washington
I'll be what you want, I'll be anything
For you
You
You
You
You
