Lyrics
Giving a swish with your ass in the air, Don't you know what they're saying? Charlotte you're so refined when you Take all the love that they're giving.

Sticking with every man that you find, Don't you know what they're after? Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, Don't you hear all the laughter?

Charlotte the Harlot, show me your leg, Charlotte the Harlot, take me to bed Charlotte the Harlot, let me see blood, Charlotte the Harlot, let me see love

Taking so many men to your room, Don't you feel no remorse? You charge them a fiver, It's only for starters

And ten for the main course And you've got no feelings, they died long ago Don't you care who you let in? And don't you know you're breaking The law with the service you're giving

Charlotte the Harlot, show me your leg, Charlotte the Harlot, take me to bed Charlotte the Harlot, let me see blood, Charlotte the Harlot, let me see love

Oh, baby oh, oh There was a time when you left me standing there, Picking up pieces of love off the floor Well Charlotte you left me alone in there, To make your ends as a bloody whore

Well Charlotte you told me you love me true, Picking up pieces of love yesterday, yeah Well Charlotte you're draws are off color too, oh 'Cause you're making love all day, yeah

Ah, how could you make it in? Oh, ooh yeah Ah, how could you make it in?

Giving a swish with your ass in the air, Don't you know what they're saying? Charlotte you're so refined when you Take all the love that they're giving

Sticking with every man that you find, Don't you know what they're after? Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, Don't you hear all the laughter?

Charlotte the Harlot, show me your leg, Charlotte the Harlot, take me to bed Charlotte the Harlot, let me see blood, Charlotte the Harlot, let me see love Yeah
