Lyrics for 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
