Black Tears

[Verse 1:]
She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose
She is got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club
She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right
Makes her money one dollar at a time
Without the makeup, nobody knows her name
And she wears the pain.

[Chorus:]
Black tears, rolling down
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
She reveals, and they all cheer
Then she cries, black tears.

[Verse 2:]
Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she is convinced
The boss man is still a friend she needs
She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine
Anything to hide the pain for a little while
The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes
You can tell she knows it when she cries.

[Chorus]

[Interlude]
She tries and tries so hard to get away
But everybody is watching.

[Chorus]
