They call her the lady of the night
She's a woman of the world
And easy-living girl with love for sale
That's what they call her the lady of the night
No one seems to know her name
And even less about the place
From where she came
Every evening when the night is close at hand
You'll find the lady on the Rue d'Avignon
In a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmly
It's just a job but she'll do the best she can
Don't try to change this lady of the night
She's a lot like you and me
And less than what she seems to be
She is the lady of the night
And easy-living girl
She is the lady of the night
She's a woman of the world
She is the lady of the night
With lots of loving for sale
She is the lady of the night
Lady lady of the night
Round here they call her the lady of the night
In a perfume hotel room
Shadows dance upon the wall and fate at dawn
She's no beginner this lady of the night
Never try that funny stuff
'Cause lady can be tough
Be warned
She is the lady of the night
She's a lot like you and me
She is the lady of the night
And never just what she seems
She is the lady of the night
No one seems to know her name
She is the lady of the night
Or the place from where she came
