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 a lady

that's down on her love

'Cause I used to hold her

and have that special touch

But work took me a way

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
