Dirty Little Lover

Ben Harper · Give Till It's Gone [2011]

She loves almost as good as she lies

She pretends almost as hard as she tries

Desperation she wears it so well

Flips on her electric light lightning in her bed

She is the kind of woman only a town like this could produce

Just mean enough to hang a man, just kind enough to cut the noose



(?) to her purse to cloud her skies

Put it on her lips then she'd put it on her eyes

A little lonesome would do her some good

She'd only come out at night if she could

She is the kind of woman only a town like this could produce

Just mean enough to hang a man, just kind enough to cut the noose



She does it the hard way, or she don't do it at all

Dirty little lover, who you gonna call?



She's her daddy's karma, and her mother suit of armor

The bright light in a man's dark eyes

Spent all her money wasting all of her time

She is the kind of woman only a town like this could produce

Just mean enough to hang a man, just kind enough to cut the noose



She does it the hard way, or she don't do it at all

Dirty little lover, who you gonna call?
