[Verse 1] She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose She is got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right Makes her money one dollar at a time Without the makeup, nobody knows her name And she wears the pain [Chorus] Black tears, rolling down From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town She reveals, and they all cheer Then she cries, black tears [Verse 2] Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she is convinced The boss man is still a friend she needs She's tried everything, cheap s** and c**aine Anything to hide the pain for a little while The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes You can tell she knows it when she cries [Chorus] [Interlude] She tries and tries so hard to get away But everybody is watching [Chorus]
