I met a girl in L.A.
And she seemed alright to me
She said she&#039;d give me loving
And she said it would be free
She told me she would call me
Or leave a message at the door
And left me wondering what
I was in for
By the next time that I saw her
I had clean forgot her name
And without her fancy make up
She just didn&#039;t look the same
So I totally ignored her
And she sadly turned away
And through sympathy
I told her she could stay
Oh poor lady, midnight baby
No one wants your love at all
Oh poor lady, midnight baby
Now you&#039;re heading for a fall
And you really
Think your&#039;re something
You know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby
There&#039;s a hundred more like you
Now for two weeks more
She was at my door
She would stay with me for days
As a lover she was frightening
In so many different ways
But when it came to conversation
she was totally absurd
Oh she&#039;d sit for hours
And never say a word
Oh poor lady, midnight baby
No one wants your love at all
Oh poor lady, midnight baby
Now you&#039;re heading for a fall
And you really
Think your&#039;re something
You know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby
There&#039;s a hundred more like you
She spends her days in different
Ways still trying to be hip
And at night she&#039;ll find
She&#039;ll lose her mind
at a club along the strip
When her money goes she always
Knows she got something
She can sell
It&#039;s the one thing that
She really can do well
Oh poor lady, midnight baby
No one wants your love at all
Oh poor lady, midnight baby
Now you&#039;re heading for a fall
And you really
Think your&#039;re something
You know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby
There&#039;s a hundred more like you

Poor Lady

by Smokie

Lyrics & chords · Original key

I met a girl in L.A.

And she seemed alright to me

She said she'd give me loving

And she said it would be free

She told me she would call me

Or leave a message at the door

And left me wondering what

I was in for

By the next time that I saw her

I had clean forgot her name

And without her fancy make up

She just didn't look the same

So I totally ignored her

And she sadly turned away

And through sympathy

I told her she could stay

Oh poor lady, midnight baby

No one wants your love at all

Oh poor lady, midnight baby

Now you're heading for a fall

And you really

Think your're something

You know all the things to do

But poor lady, just a baby

There's a hundred more like you

Now for two weeks more

She was at my door

She would stay with me for days

As a lover she was frightening

In so many different ways

But when it came to conversation

she was totally absurd

Oh she'd sit for hours

And never say a word

Oh poor lady, midnight baby

No one wants your love at all

Oh poor lady, midnight baby

Now you're heading for a fall

And you really

Think your're something

You know all the things to do

But poor lady, just a baby

There's a hundred more like you

She spends her days in different

Ways still trying to be hip

And at night she'll find

She'll lose her mind

at a club along the strip

When her money goes she always

Knows she got something

She can sell

It's the one thing that

She really can do well

Oh poor lady, midnight baby

No one wants your love at all

Oh poor lady, midnight baby

Now you're heading for a fall

And you really

Think your're something

You know all the things to do

But poor lady, just a baby

There's a hundred more like you
