Verse

C
I lived on the streets down in New Orleans
        F        G       C
Just to get away from my family

Daddy’s little dream I was only 16
      F           G             C
But I took all misfortune would hand me
     F                        C
Some john had a camera and an internet site
        Am                   F
And the streets were getting crowded
C              
I took the money, it was over by midnight
    F               G          C
But I don’t want to talk about it

C  F  G  C


Verse

I do my time in the eye of the lens
So some loser can launch his rocket
What do I care if they think they’re my friends
When their money is in my pocket
You can call me a victim you can call it a sin
You can stand on your stump and shout it
But it’s man’s world that we’re livin in
And I don’t want to talk about it


Chorus

               F     
Cause I’m your dream lover
C               Am
Your wish is my command
         F
I’m your dream lover
C                       G
Better than a one night stand
F
Dream lover
   C                         F
As close as the palm of your hand


Guitar Solo

Verse

I’ll do the things that your girlfriend won’t
And make you believe that I like it
I say do it when the others say don’t
And won’t even try to fight it
I can make it seem it’s not cruel or obscene
Like I can’t live a minute without it
Daddy’s little girl is a porno queen
But I don’t want to talk about it
