[Verse 1] He pulled up in that old red Chevy, flowers on the seat She met him at the motel door in stockings and bare feet He said, "Darlin', I'd take care of you if you'd just let me try" She smiled that practiced smile and said, "Sugar, that'll cost you twice" [Chorus] He's falling hard for a woman for hire She's countin' twenties by the pale porch light He calls it love, she calls it Friday night He leaves his heart, she leaves a price Cash on the nightstand, cold as goodbye He's in love — she just wants to get paid [Verse 2] He waits out back with two black coffees goin' cold She steps out laughin' on another stranger's arm He swears tonight she'll see the man behind the money She checks her phone and asks him, "Honey, what's your startin' charge?" [Bridge] He wrote her name in dust across his rearview glass She wrote her rates in lipstick on the bathroom mirror He said "I love you" like them three words paid the bill She said, "Same rate, same room, same rules still" [Chorus] He's falling hard for a woman for hire She's countin' twenties by the pale porch light He calls it love, she calls it Friday night He leaves his heart, she leaves a price Cash on the nightstand, cold as goodbye He's in love — she just wants to get paid And the truck still idles when the neon blinks out 'Cause fools like him keep prayin' she'll stay
