Easy virtue woman,
you've lived in many places many times.
Easy virtue woman,
There's no place on the earth men cannot find you.
When you go to sleep the dawn is breaking o’er the mountain.
You open up your eyes and find another day is done.
Check the mirror, you’re okay.
Got to earn your bread today.
Easy virtue woman,
Your body is for sale but not your love.
Easy virtue woman,
They leave your bed return to wives and mothers.
Leave you sitting in your room, no one to share your heartaches.
Let your down don’t have a cry, no one will bother you.
Sit and smoke some cigarettes,
Light a match to your regrets.
I know that you would like to find a better way to live.
And I’d be glad if I just had a better life to give.
But don’t take seriously the ones who pass the blame.
You’re just the only kind of whore who has to wear the name.
Easy Virtue woman,
I see you smile at all the men who pass.
Easy Virtue woman,
I know you'll go with any man who asks you.
Another year or two of working on the street you’re planning.
And then go back and live your life the way you did before.
I wish you luck and all the rest,
But one thing leads to all the rest.
Easy virtue woman,
you've lived in many places many times.
Easy virtue woman,
There's no place on the earth men cannot find you.
