[Em]My old man is a bad man, but
[Em]I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he [Am]grabs me, he has me by my [Em]heart [Em7]
[Em]He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't mind I have a L.A. crass way a[Am]bout me
He loves me, with every [Em]beat of his cocaine [Em7]heart
[Em]Swimmin' pool glimmerin', [Edim]darling
White bikini [Em]off with my red nail [Edim]polish
Watch me in the [Em]swimmin' pool, bright blue [Edim]ripples
You [Em]sittin', sippin' on your Black [Edim]Cristal, oh, yeah
[Em]Light of my life, [C]fire of my loins
[Em]Be a good baby, [Em7]do what I want
[Em]Light of my life, [C]fire of my loins
[Em]Gimme them gold coins, [Em7]gimme them coins
And I'm off to the [Em]races, cases of Bacardi chasers
[D]Chasin' me all over town
'Cause he knows I'm [Em]wasted, facin' time again at Rikers Is[C]land
And I won't get out
Because I'm cra[D]zy, baby
I [C]need you to come here and save me
I'm your little [D]scarlet, starlet, singin' in the garden
[C]Kiss me on my open mouth
Ready for you [Em]
[Em]My old man is a tough man, but
He got a soul as sweet as blood-red jam
And he [Am]shows me, he knows me
Every [Em]inch of my tar-black [Em7]soul
[Em]He doesn't mind I have a flat broke-down life
In fact, he says he thinks it's what he might like a[Am]bout me
Admires me, the way I [Em]roll like a rolling [Em7]stone
Likes to watch me in the [Em]glass room, bathroom, [Edim]Château Marmont
[Em]Slippin' on my red dress, [Edim]puttin' on my makeup
[Em]Glass room, perfume, [Edim]cognac, lilac [Em]fumes
Says it feels like [Edim]heaven to him
[Em]Light of his life, [C]fire of his loins
[Em]Keep me forever, [Em7]tell me you own me
[Em]Light of your life, [C]fire of your loins
[Em]Tell me you own me, [Em7]gimme them coins
And I'm off to the [Em]races, cases of Bacardi chasers
[D]Chasin' me all over town
'Cause he knows I'm [Em]wasted, facin' time again at Rikers Is[C]land
And I won't get out
Because I'm cra[D]zy, baby
I [C]need you to come here and save me
I'm your little [D]scarlet, starlet, singin' in the garden
[C]Kiss me on my open mouth
Yo, I'm off to the [Em]races, laces
Leather on my waist is [D]tight, and I am fallin' down
I can see your [Em]face, is shameless, Cipriani's Basement
[C]Love you, but I'm goin' down
God, I'm so [D]crazy, baby
I'm sor[C]ry that I'm misbehaving
I'm your little [D]harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
[C]Raisin' hell all over town
Sorry 'bout it [Em]
[Am]My old man is a thief, and
I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the [Em]end
But I trust in the decision of the Lord[Am], to watch over us
Take him when He may, if He may [Em]
I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
Who else is gonna [Am]put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I'll never leave you
[Em]They would rue the day I was alone, without you
You're [Am]lyin' with your gold chain on
Cigar hangin' from your lips, I said, "Hon"
"You never looked so beau[Em]tiful as you do[D] now, my man"
And we're off to the [Em]races, places
Ready, set, the gate is [D]down and now we're goin' in
To Las [Em]Vegas, chaos, Casino Oasis
[C]Honey, it is time to spin
Boy, you're so [D]crazy, baby
I [C]love you forever, not maybe
You are my [D]one true love
You are my [D]one true love
