[Verse 1]
I was sitting in the park, the sky was getting dark
I was feeling kind of weak, when I heard this lady speak
She said: "Mister follow me, I know what you need
Got a place down the street
I'll satisfy your needs I'll give you what you need"

[Verse 2]
So we came to her place (oh no) and she painted her face (oh no)
Ulyala was her name, and I was her game
She took me up to the top (oh no) all the way up (oh no)
Then she dropped me like a stone
She said: "Leave me alone why don't you leave me alone
You're no good bum get back to the slum!"

[Melody change]

[Verse 3]
It is ten years ago, but I think you should know (baw, baw, baw)
I was living in a nightmare, walking in a dream (baw, baw, baw)
Lost in the city, didn't have a dime
It was a pretty hard time (baw, baw, baw, baw)

[Verse 4]
I was hungry for food I was hungry for love (baw, baw, baw)
I was sleeping in the doorway of Saint Andrews Church (baw, baw, baw)
Too proud to steal and too proud to beg
Too proud to be real (baw, baw, baw, baw)
[Outro]
Ulyala, Ulyala, be good to me, tonight x5
Ulyala, Ulyala, be good to me, ah tonight
Ulyala, Ulyala, be good to me-e-e tonight
Ulyala, Ulyala, be good to me, ah tonight x2
