Little Feat - The Ingenue Lyrics
Paul Barrere, Bill Payne, Fred Tackett, Craig FullerShe ain't real friendly for no good reasonClaims her life's been filled with treasonSays she's cursed by a toothless gypsyWonderin' why her life's so greasy With doulbe blades she dulls her sensesSpiteful girl by all consensusAll her life it's been the sameHell she don't even like her name She longs to be the ingenueTo leading men tall dark and handsomeBut now the play has passed her by... oh myThere's no exitOh no there's no way out at allThere's no exit Jumped a train in ItalyOn her way to gay ParisDown in the Loire ValleyShe got sho drunk she couldn't seeStumblin' through a metro stationIn a mood for conversationFortune teller read her palmTold her that her time was gone She longs to be the ingenueTo leading men tall dark and handsomeBut now the play has passed her by... oh myThere's no exitOh no there's no way out at allThere's no exit She used to model as a childWith Bardot's looks and Gigi's laughterEnfant terrible creationOf a sockless adman's mindPlayed her first recital at the tender age of nineStrains of Clare de LuneMater sipping winePater in the garden gazingAt those ponies grazingThe spoils of a lonely child She longs to be the ingenueTo leading men tall dark and handsomeOnce just a jet-trash kidDown at Les HallesHer frequent trips to NiceIn Monaco she was always welcomeShe was embraced by all societyAlong the way she lost her charmsNow the play has passed her by
