These dance hall girls, they'll treat you kind They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds They'll fill you up, with lipstick lies Then they'll put you down son Don't be surprised Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? I held her mountains, I kissed her plains I touched her sunshine, Lord then I drank her rains But I went too far, I broke too fast I thought I had a winner picked But I came in last, again Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? ***Refrain: I must have chosen the wrong season to come down I never realized they call this sacred ground My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind I sent a letter home, but this all takes time you know I gotta get some money, I wanna go back home But these dance hall girls Know how to make a man feel alone Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? ***Solo Plays through one verse **play refrian My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds They'll fill you up, with lipstick lies These dance hall girls say They can't stand to see a grown man cry Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? Is this the way it always is here in Montreal? Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
