"Martini" lyrics

"Martini"

She was a new mini-beauty queen
Money drugs magazines
That didn't do nothing
Nah, didn't do nothing

They gave her diamonds, shiny boys
City speak, every joy
That didn't do nothing
No, nothing for her

You can lead a horse to water
But you can't expect it to drink
Now isn't that something, now isn't that something
Yeah when the world is at your gate
That won't satiate

Why are you crying?
If you work for nothing at all?

Don't be a fly in my martini, baby come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something (Hey!) to cry about

Fast cars, (put you in) bars
Trial and it drown in the scars
It won't do nothing, it won't do nothing
Even the best frame won't change
Your wet paint and you choose the Mona Lisa, the Mona Lisa
You've got to dry your eyes baby
I know it's your party and you
Cry if you want to, cry if you want to
Yeah when the world is at your gate
And that don't fill your plate

Why are you crying?
If you work for nothing at all?

Don't be a fly in my martini, baby come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something (Hey!) to cry about
Don't be a fly in my martini, baby come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something (Hey!) to cry about
Don't be a fly in my martini, baby come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something (Hey!) to cry about
Don't be a fly in my martini, baby come on down
That roof is high and I'm not climbing tonight
Come down and I'll give you something (Hey!) to cry about
