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
