Late night hustle goin' down in the city

A one way street on the wrong side of town

Young and foolish, man don't you know

All we could see were



Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line

Ladies in the night, workin' overtime

Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle

Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles

Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls



We worked out a deal with some chicks on the corner

Back at the room it was never to be

No one had money and the girls got so uptight



Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line

Ladies in the night, workin' overtime

Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle

Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles

Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls, so tough



Baby i know, it's just what i see

Baby i know, it's not what i need

Big city, big city girls



The next thing you know, things got rough, babe

They carved out a warnin' with a switch blade knife

The message was clear, if you wanna play, you gotta pay



Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line

Ladies in the night, workin' overtime

Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle

Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles

Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls
