The Statler Brothers - If Love Is a Red Dress (Hang Me in Rags) lyrics

[Verse 1] My heart is empty Your eyes are dull Once we were hungry Now we are full These ties that bind us Can't beat these chains If love is shelter I'm gonna walk in the rain [Verse 2] You were my angel Now you are real So like a stranger Colder than steel The morning after No one should brag If love is a red dress Well hang me in rags [Chorus] Oh well, there goes the fairy tale Lord, ain't it a shame In all this comfort, i can't take the strain [Verse 3] If we played even I'd be your queen But someone was cheatin' And it wasn't me I played on the table You held something back If love is aces, gimme the jack
