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 mid-summer moon

When he asked her to marry, and she gladly said, "Okay"

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 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 into lust

And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust

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

Now she's a lady down on love
