I swore that I'd get even I swore I'd get it back Lost out on that money game, slipped right through the crack Oh, the little f** who stung me He's not answering my calls Love to get a million bucks and nail 'em to his balls It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business You're playing with money, baby, you gonna need... It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business This one's going down, down in history Well, the front door it was rusty The accountant gone to smack Hired help on holiday and never coming back Filipina girl sat still there Attending a reception Spoke not a word of English as she dealt me the deception It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business You're playing with knives, baby, you gonna bleed... It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business This one's going down, down in history I guess things got a little outta hand You know the fine print said that I can You got those, got those contracts in your pocket for ease You wanna get me some tooth for teeth Well, I made some calculations Saw that I was in the black Red was creeping up like some distant heart attack In the photograph we are smiling As we shake our little pact They say when things don't swing your way, take a different tact It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business You're playing with money, baby, you gonna need... It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business This one's going down, down in history Well I tracked him down to Singapore To the bar of a hotel Sippin' margaritas as I readied him for hell They say blood was thicker than water By the river late that day We got closure on our little deal, in a business kinda way It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business You're playing with knives, babe, you gonna bleed... It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business This one's going down, down in history I guess things got a little outta hand You know the frint print said that I can You got those, got those contacts in your pocket for ease You wanna get me some tooth for teeth It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business It's a nasty business, it's a nasty business
