It's her first night on the town, since she was just eighteen A lady down on love and out of hopes 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 mid-summer moon When he asked her to marry and she gladly said O.K And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday 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 a way 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 into lust And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust
