Hoyt Axton – Hotel Ritz lyrics

(Hoyt Axton)

It was the Hotel Ritz down in Madrid Spain
She fell in love with the Prince of Pain
Head over heels she was lost again
And all her daddy's money couldn't save her.

She was young and wild she was a rich man's child
She learned to dance and she learned to smile
Head over heels she was lost a while
And all her daddy's money couldn't save her.
All her daddy's money couldn't save her.

She was out on her own like a bird on the wing
Seventeen years and she didn't know a think about living
She'd been protected from the things
That her daddy didn't want her to see.

--- Instrumental ---

She was born in a place with a silver spoon
She learned to fly but she flew too soon
Head over heels she was off to the moon
And all her daddy's money couldn't save her.
All her daddy's money couldn't save her.

She was out on her own like a bird on the wing
Seventeen years and she didn't know a think about living
She'd been protected from the things
That her daddy didn't want her to see.

It was the Hotel Ritz down in Madrid Spain
She fell in love with the Prince of Pain
Head over heels she was lost again
And all her daddy's money couldn't save her.

All her daddy's money couldn't save her.
All her daddy's money couldn't save her...
