It's her first night on the town

Since she was just 18

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 learnin' 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
