Lady Down On Love
It's her first night on the town
Since she was just eighteen,
A lady down on love
And out of hope and dreams.
The ties that once bound her
Now are broke away,
And she's like a baby
Just learning how to play.
She never thought that love
Could ever end so soon.
Her mind drifts back in time
To a midsummer moon,
When he asked her to marry,
And she gladly said OK,
And a woman came to be
From the girl of yesterday.
ESTRIBILLO:
Now she's a lady down on love.
She needs somebody to gently pick her up.
She's got her freedom,
But she'd rather be bound
To a man who would love her
And never let her down.
Well, I know the lady
That's down on her love,
'Cause I used to hold her
And have that special touch.
But work took me away
From home late at nights,
And I wasn't there
When she turned out the lights.
Then both of us got lonely,
And I gave in to lust;
And she just couldn't live
With a man she couldn't trust.
(ESTRIBILLO)
Now she's a lady down on love.
