if you don't shut up.

I don't wanna talk to you, all right?

- I wanna talk to you.

- Shut up.

- You shut up.

- Shut the f***...

- You shut the f*** up.

- I was talking to her anyway.

What the f***

are you talking about?

You shut up.

She's a tough girl. She's as tough

as tough girls come

Lounging like a panther

in the smoggy city sun

She's been fighting

all her life

Tooth and nail

and sometimes knife

In the hopes

that she'll become someone

She can make you wanna

take her by the throat

She can break you like you

was nothing but a joke

She's got nothing

she doesn't need

Now that she's

given up on hope

'Cause she's the toughest whore

in Babylon

Yes, she's the toughest whore

in Babylon

But I love her

just the same

I get drunk and I babble on

But I know it's just me to blame

The toughest whore in Babylon

Some stories never change

I'm in love with

the toughest whore in Babylon

In the city is the only place

for her to be

Other places she could not

meet her destiny

She'd be wasted on some

beer-drinking bourgeoisie

She's the toughest whore

in Babylon

In her bedroom

Well, she got pictures of herself

All her poses

lining every shelf

Ask about them

She'll just cuss you with her belt

She's the toughest whore

in Babylon

Well, she's the toughest whore

in Babylon

But I love her

just the same

I get drunk and I babble on

But I've only myself to blame

The toughest whore in Babylon

Some stories never change

I belong to the toughest whore

in Babylon

Oh, it's so hard

And when she talked

it's only to get her way

And when she walks

it's only to walk away

And when she loves you

you've always got to pay

She's the toughest whore

in Babylon

Well, she's the toughest whore

in Babylon

But I love her

just the same

I get drunk and I babble on

But I've only myself to blame

The toughest whore in Babylon

Some stories never change

I'm in love with the toughest whore

in Babylon

Oh, baby

I could never let you go

Especially not to Joe

Geesh, what a fool

He could never love you

like I could love you, baby

The carnivals

The vodka and rum

Aww, baby

Just come back to me, sugar

She's the toughest whore

in Babylon

But I love her

just the same

I get drunk and I babble on

but I've only myself to blame

The toughest whore in Babylon

Some stories never change

I belong to the toughest whore

in Babylon

Come a little closer, honey

Ooh

John Cassavetes

John Nicholas Cassavetes (; December 9, 1929 – February 3, 1989) was a Greek-American actor, film director, and screenwriter. Cassavetes was a pioneer of American independent film, writing and directing over a dozen movies, which he partially self-financed, and pioneered the use of improvisation and a cinéma vérité style. He also acted in many Hollywood films, notably Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Dirty Dozen (1967). He studied acting with Don Richardson, utilizing an alternative technique to method acting which privileged character over traditional narrative. His income from acting made it possible for him to direct his own films independently.Cassavetes was nominated for three separate Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor for The Dirty Dozen (1967), Best Original Screenplay for Faces (1968) and Best Director for A Woman Under the Influence (1974). His children Nick Cassavetes, Zoe Cassavetes, and Xan Cassavetes are also filmmakers. more…
