Marietta out on the dance floor
Marietta in a black dress
Another Friday night in El Paso
She's gonna make some new friends fast
Oh, she's gonna make some new friends
Marietta out on the corner
Marietta out on the town
Marietta in negotiation
She's gonna lay the rules
Of this dirty game down
Oh, she's gonna lay it down
Love for money
It's just a commodity
Love for money
Don't you know everyone's got needs?
Marietta prays to be rescued
Marietta prays to be saved
Marietta waits to confess her sins
In the light of the day
In the light of the day
She knows what she wants
She don't waste her time, yeah
She gets to the point
Oh, she keeps you in line
Keeps you in line
Marietta, ah, Marietta
Marietta shows you such a good time
Marietta gets the job done
But you know she's got to pay her bills
So, she's got to love someone
She knows what she wants
Oh, she don't waste her time, yeah
She gets to the point
Oh, she keeps you in line
She keeps you in line
Marietta, Marietta, yeah
Oh, Marietta
