lyrics

Here's a story about a boy named Linda,
What he'd do, it'd really offend ya,
He walks the streets to make his money, and
That's why all them daddys call him honey,
So he stands on the corner, tryin' to make a dime,
Yes, he knows that the law's gonna treat him unkind,
He'll meet you in the alley, or in that little shack
Cause once you go in, you can never look back,
Yeah, you know he's gonna show you a real time,
He's a street walkin' professional with a sense of pride,
And what he does for a dollar, it ain't no joke,
He just wants to give you a little poke now

Don't you go and let him boss you around,
I said don't you go and let him boss you around,
It's just that boy Lindy, he's doin' fine,
He just wants you to buy his, love and time!

Now it's time to get on, and go back home
Cause your wife, she's sittin' there and she's not alone
Now sweet boy Lindy's gettin' all your money
While some fella's easin' in on your honey, now

Don't you go and let her, boss you around,
I said, don't you go and let her, boss you around
Well, you thought everything was goin' just fine,
But now she don't need your love or time
