E A E Cindy's cryin' but it ain't no use - B7 E She's got a habit and she can't break loose. A E Stoppin' each and every man she meets, B7 E Gonna be a hooker on Bleecker Street, A On Bleecker Street. E Honey, can't you see I'm cryin'. A E Said you'd leave it but you ain't even tryin'. B7 E Say you're livin', I can see you dyin'.
Police stopped her on the street today,
She was holdin' and they took her away.
Threw her in jail and they made her wait,
She was cryin', "Oh, Jesus, let me just get straight,
Let me just get straight."
Honey, can't you see I'm cryin'.
Said you'd leave it but you ain't even tryin'.
Say you're livin', I can see you dyin'.
Cindy loves me but she has to go,
Down to the corner in the wind and snow.
Standin' on the corner while the rain comes down,
Standin' on the corner till the man comes 'round,
Till the man comes 'round.
Honey, can't you see I'm cryin'?
Said you'd leave it but you ain't even tryin'.
Say you're livin', I can see you dyin'.
Cindy, Cindy, whatchu gonna do?
Got no money and you're way past due.
You got every last penny I had,
The man is leavin' and your credit is bad,
And your credit is bad.
Honey, can't you see I'm cryin'?
Said you'd leave it but you ain't even tryin'.
Say you're livin', I can see you dyin'.
Cindy went South and she took the cure,
"This time, honey, I'm straight for sure."
Went to the corner to the grocery store,
Gone ten minutes and I know you scored,
And I know you scored.
Honey, can't you see I'm cryin'?
Said you'd leave it but you ain't even tryin'.
Say you're livin', I can see you dyin'.
Cindy's cryin' but it ain't no use -
She's got a habit and she can't break loose.
Stoppin' each and every man she meets,
Gonna be a hooker on Bleecker Street,
On Bleecker Street.
Honey, can't you see I'm cryin'?
Said you'd leave it but you ain't even tryin'.
Say you're livin', I can see you dyin'.
Say you're livin', I can see you dyin'.
