Nobody’s Child Lyrics

[Intro]
(Painted lady, painted lady, painted lady)
(Painted lady, painted lady, painted lady)
(Painted lady, painted lady, painted lady)
(Painted lady, painted lady, painted lady)
Lady, yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Painted lady, stop that closin' in on me
Painted lady you're supposed to be a dream
Painted lady, you better stay away from me
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Painted lady, why you loosenin' my tie?
Painted lady, what's that twinkle in your eye?
Painted lady, you better stay away from me
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
Painted lady, with your jewels and your beads
Painted lady, don't you do these dirty deeds
Painted lady, you better stay here with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, oh

[Instrumental Bridge]

Painted lady, nobody's child
You have set me free
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Painted lady, nobody's child
You have set me free
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, whoa, whoa, oh-oh

Painted lady, with your smile
(Painted lady, painted lady, painted lady)
(Painted lady, painted lady, painted lady)
