IT'S HER FIRST NIGHT

ON THE TOWN

SINCE SHE WAS

JUST EIGHTEEN

A LADY DOWN ON LOVE

AND OUT OF HOPES

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
