Partners in Crime Rupert Holmes

[Verse 1]
She's underage and she's underweight
And she's one month hooked and she's two months late
She comes from Wyoming and he named her Desiree
She hit New York like a farm-fresh egg
Hits a frying pan, she's too proud to beg
So she works on the sidewalk, he administrates her pay
She calls him Swagger 'cause of his hat
He adopted her in three seconds flat
By the bus station doorway where he found her half-alive
He is her family and in return
He beats up on her and takes all she can earn
And she needs him so badly, losing him, she'd never survive

[Chorus]
And it's him and her, me and you
We do it to each other whatever we do
Hand in hand, arm in arm
It's always been the two of us doing us harm
It's the same deal every time
We're all of us partners in crime

[Verse 2]
She is a buyer for Bloomingdale's
He's division head of commercial sales
They met at the office, odds were one to one they'd meet
Work is the great aphrodisiac
It's that nine-to-five gets 'em in the sack
Afternoons at the office, evenings at the health retreat
And all day long, he just balls her out
'Bout some shipment due on the air freight route
But when they leave the office, guess who gets the upper hand?
She's into power, he's into pain
And beneath her heel, he will long remain
And he needs her so badly, loves it when she takes command
