[Verse 1]
Nighttime lady, she says maybe
In the all-night laundromat
Wait one minute, I have seen her
She's a billionaire

[Pre-Chorus]
She was a hotel detective
But now she's gotten promoted
I don't think it was the money
She didn't care about expensive things
No furs or pearls or fancy cars or diamond rings

[Chorus]
She was a hotel detective
But now she's better connected
She didn't have to change anything
Just the stencil on her window
She used to be quite a lady
She drove the underworld crazy
But now she goes insane in her way
When it suits her occupation
She read that motel directive
It told her she was defective
I guess she found an easier way
Up the ladder and she took it
Now that lady is running the world
[Verse 2]
Is she lonely? She's the only
Girl in this back alleyway
Will she shoot you? She won't have to
You're already dead

[Pre-Chorus]
She was a hotel detective
But now she's gotten promoted
I don't think it was the money
She didn't care about expensive things
No furs or pearls or fancy cars or diamond rings

[Chorus]
She was a hotel detective
But now she's better connected
She didn't have to change anything
Just the stencil on her window
She used to be quite a lady
She drove the underworld crazy
But now she goes insane in her way
When it suits her occupation
She read that motel directive
It told her she was defective
I guess she found an easier way
Up the ladder and she took it
Now that lady is running the world
