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
