Lady Down on Love

It's her first night on the town since she was just eighteenA lady down on love and out of hope and dreamsThe ties that once bound her now are broke awayAnd she's like a baby, just learning how to playShe never thought that love could ever end so soonHer mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moonWhen he asked her to marry and she glady said O.KAnd a woman came to be from the girl of yesterdayNow she's a lady down on loveShe needs somebody to gentley pick her upShe's got her freedom, but she'd rather be boundTo a man who would love her and never let her downWell, I know a lady that's down on her love'Cause I used to hold her and have that special touchBut work took me a way from home late at nightsAnd I wasn't there when she turned out the lightsThen both of us got lonely and I gave into lustAnd she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trustNow she's a lady down on loveShe needs somebody to gently pick her upShe's got her freedom, but she'd rather be boundTo man who would love her and never let her downNow she's a lady down on love
