The Wanted Lady

She was on the wanted list for quite some time Yet she had committed no crime She was given many aliases And is still wanted in some places Many powerful men have had affairs with her Some couldn't get enough of her Some denied taking in her very essence Others said she is just for peasants She is pimped out on street corners Being sold for nickels and dimes So many can get their thrills and delight But she is not a lady of the night I have met this lady a few times Sometimes in summer's sunshine, sometimes in cold winter rain She told me that out of all her aliases She prefers to be called Mary Jane Contest name: One of Your Best
