He told me I was worth it and he took out his wallet
He had a nice top, a wrist watch
And how do you call it, evening jacket
He bought me this, I wanted pink
But I took red instead, that's all they had

And his phone rang and he said
I'm sorry baby, you caught me at a bad time
I'm entertaining a woman with taste and a girl with true ambition
But I would really love the two of us to talk

And I got in a black limousine
And I don't care much for the money
But you spend it on me
In the back of your black limousine
We got the time for a little bit of luxury

You're paying for my company, babe
When you're paying for my company, babe
When you're paying for my company, babe

Cash, last I checked I was overdraft
Spend more money than I guess I have
What do I do about that? It's too bad
But I get by, I got a car waiting outside
He's paying for the pictures and taking me for a ride

There's those things you have to pay for
There's things you get for free
It doesn't cost a fortune
When the fortune pays for me

Cause I'm a woman with taste
And a girl with true ambition
I guess I rather like the feeling
Of the leather in a moving car

I mean in a black limousine
I don't care much for the money
But you spend it on me
In the back of a black limousine
We got the time for a little bit of luxury

You're paying for my company, hey
When you're paying for my company, hey
When you're paying for my company, hey

I know you gotta live some, honey
I know you got a table for two
Full of confidence and money
Find out what it could do

It's true, your looks are passable
Cool, you're unattachable too
I'm a natural catch for a chap to be sat

In the back of a black limousine
I don't care much for the money
But you spend it on me
In the back of your black limousine
We got the time for a little bit of luxury

You're paying for my company, babe
When you're paying for my company, babe
When you're paying for my company, babe

    General Comment:I don't think it neccessarily is about being an escort.
    I think its about a girl being pretty, and using her advantage to get what she wants.
    shes thinking "your looks are passable" and all the perks make up for it.
    Everyone does it once in a while. To be honest I've gone on dates to very nice places that I could never afford just because the guy wants arm candy.
    I like all of dragonettes songs. They're open about sexuality and the power a woman has when she knows how to use it.
    plus I saw them a couple weeks ago and chatted with them backstage. :)

    General Comment:i agree....sounds like its about an escort...first thing i thought when i heard it

    "You've got the time for a little bit of luxury
    You're paying for my company, babe"

    "And his phone rang and he said
    'I'm sorry baby you caught me at a bad time, I'm entertaining' "
