A               D      A                     D
I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
    A                  D              Bm               E
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free,
    A                 D          A                      D
She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door,
    Bm                E             A   D   A   D
And left me wondering what I was in for.


[Verse 2]
       A                D             A                D
By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name
       A              D                Bm              E
And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same,
     A               D           A             D
So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away,
            Bm         E                  A
And through sympathy I told her she could stay.

        F#m            A
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
       C#m                E
No one wants your love at all,
        F#m            A
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
           C#m           E
Now you're heading for a fall,
        D                  
And you really think your're something,
         A                 E
you know all the things to do
         F#m          D
But poor lady, just a baby,
          E                 A   D   A   D
There's a hundred more like you.


[Verse 3]
        A                      D
Now for two weeks more she was at my door,
          A                D
She would stay with me for days,
     A             D                 Bm             E
As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways,
            A             D              A         D
But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd,
         Bm                E           A
Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word.


[CHORUS]
        F#m            A
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
       C#m                E
No one wants your love at all,
        F#m            A
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
           C#m           E
Now you're heading for a fall,
        D                  
And you really think your're something,
         A                 E
you know all the things to do
         F#m          D
But poor lady, just a baby,
          E                 A   D   A   D
There's a hundred more like you.


[Verse 4]
    A                  D                     A            D
She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip,
       A                        D                   Bm             E
And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip,
         A              D                    A                 D
When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell,
         Bm                 E             A
It's the one thing that she really can do well.


[CHORUS]
        F#m            A
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
       C#m                E

        F#m            A
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,

Now you're heading for a fall,

But poor lady, just a baby,
          E                 A   D   A   D
There's a hundred more like you.
