My favourite Tom Waits song. He KNOWS she's not saint, he KNOWS she's got baggage, he KNOWS it'll end in tears... and yet you get back on that horse called romance. And the imagery, man. "You feel just like Cagney, she looks like Rita Hayworth"... yet you get the feeling she probably isn't THAT good-looking in real life, she's getting on a bit, and he's just a drifter who's nothing like Jimmy Cagney. But hey, that's life.
