Send The Man Over lyrics - Cher

In a rented room 

Above a Hollywood bar with my money gone 

The ragged curtains blowing in the window 

Lying hungry and alone 

With no one to call, not even my folks 

For the means to go on 

Wondering if I lose my nerve 

Or answer the phone 

When the desk clerk calls to say 

A stranger's on his way 

Up the stairs to share my bed 

Will I stay or slip away 

I know an actress has to make sacrifices 

But what a price to pay 

And when I called my agent today 

The conversation went this way 

Send in anyone from Metro or Warners 

Leave a call from me 

Well then what about Paramount or NBC 

You say there's nothing today 

Just an interesting gentleman caller 

With a burning request 

I said send the man over, I guess 

With a script and the cash 

Just some poor white trash 

From a bayou town and a driftwood shack 

I was craddled by a Cajun Mama 

Deserted by a Cherokee dad 

Then at seventeen a Georgia drifter came 

And we made it to L.A. 

And when I called my agent today 

The conversation went this way 

Send in anyone from Metro or Warners 

Leave a call from me 

Well then what about Paramount or NBC 

You say there's nothing today 

Just an interesting gentleman caller 

With a burning request 

I said send the man over, I guess 

With a script and the cash 

Now I hear footsteps out in the hall 

Mama's pictures turned to the wall 

A young actress must give her all 

Pay her dues, play her role
