Dollar Girl Lyrics

When you know the dollar girl
Is coming home again
Then you know that destiny
Will never be your friend

Her heart is in her pocket
And her head is in your hands
You thought it would be easy
But I guessed she changed your plans

Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious
She'll love you til she dies

Stay with me now
Til the end of the day
If you stay we can talk
I will hear what you say
If you leave me tonight
While my heart is on fire
Stay with me now
I will be your desire

And when you go the dollar girl
Will justify your care
She burns you with her confidence
And prays that you won't dare

Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious
She'll love you til she dies

Stay with me now
Til the end of the day
If you stay, we can talk
I will hear what you say
If you leave me tonight
While my heart is on fire
Stay with me now
I will be your desire

Now you know there's no release
From all the tears she cries
Slowly it seems obvious
She'll love you til she dies

Stay with me now
Til the end of the day
If you stay, we can talk
I will hear what you say
If you leave me tonight
While my heart is on fire
Stay with me now
I will be your desire

Cover art for Dollar Girl lyrics by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

I see this song as being about a prostitute who's fallen in love with one of her clients. This man went to her just for the sex, but she ended up falling in love with him and now she won't leave him alone. She keeps putting on an emotional show by breaking down and crying in front of him so that he'll feel sorry for her and won't leave her, and though he does not reciprocate her feelings he finds it difficult to break away.

"She burns you with her confidence And prays that you won't dare"

-she intimidates him so that he's too afraid to say no to her, and his whole life has been ruined by this girl's persistence and his own inability to reject her.
