Talked on the phone to you late last night
You know I felt like a fisherman
I just got a bite
We'll have to take it easy as we're reeling it in
 'Cause I don't want to lose it again
Throw me your lifeline

Told me to meet you at the top of the hill
And I told you I would leave
When I got my fill
I can be a lady if I feel so inclined
But it's easy to be shady when you ain't got a dime
Throw me your lifeline

Won't you take a chance oh pretty baby take a chance
There's more to me than meets the
I don't see why you can't give
A little bit of what it takes to help me live
I'm a lady, I'm a princess, I'm the queen of Wails
A little bit of luck will keep me out of jail
Throw me your lifeline

If you look close you know I think you'll find
The two of us together could have a real good time
If you think I'm bold you should have been here last week
It was enough to cause a public scene
Throw me your lifeline

Won't you take a chance oh pretty baby take a chance
There's more to me than meets the
I don't see why you can't give
A little bit of what it takes to help me live
I'm a lady, I'm a princess, I'm the queen of Wails
A little bit of luck will keep me out of jail
Throw me your lifeline
