Dave's True Story - Once Had a Woman lyrics

I can't count the times that he'd leave her alone Close out the bars before staggering home And come in to find her asleep by the phone He once had a woman She coudn't keep up with the rest of the crowd An original thought never troubled her brow And she wouldn't turn heads if she walked in right now He once had a woman Once had a woman Once had a woman who loved him But that was long ago When love was fed On a few soft hours In a stranger's bed The times were wild And the lives we led astray Her trust was a blanket he grew to despise Her ready acceptance of all of his lies She became quite the joke with the rest of the guys He once had a woman Once had a woman Once had a woman who loved him But that was long ago When love was fed On a few soft hours In a stranger's bed The times were wild And the lives we led astray If he could just take back that callous goodbye When she curled like paper tossed into the fire But there were prettier ladies he wanted to try He once had a woman Once had a woman And I was that woman who loved him
