Did
you ever meet a lady,
a lady of the night?
You see a pretty woman in a dress that's much too tight.
You hear her happy laughter,
you think she's having fun.
Her laughter just to cover the heartache that she's known.
A drink
stands there before her,
there's teardrops in her eyes.
She remembers all the good
times when she was a loving wife.
But someone stole her love
and left her all alone.
Her laughter just to cover
the heartache
that she's known.
So please don't you condemn her
when you see her there alone.
For the
music and the nightlife
takes the place of her sweet home.
For she was once so happy,
but now she likes to roam.
Her laughter
just to cover the heartache that she's known.
