the dealer

Joan Armatrading

Everybody wants to be my friend
Everybody wants to take me home
All these people want the number
Of my phone
Do you know why
They want me

I'm the dealer
And they want me for all
All I can give

I deal in danger
When I do the buying
You pay the price
And I'll do the crime

I'm the dealer

No credit
Just paper or gold
You pay your bills
And I'll fill the holes

I'm the dealer
And they want me for all
All I can give

I deal in women
Medicine and art
If you need help
I can fix it
