LADY DOWN ON LOVE
ALABAMA
 

IT'S HER FIRST NIGHT ON THE TOWN
SINCE SHE WAS JUST EIGHTEEN <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 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 ASK HER TO MARRY AND SHE GLADLY SAID "O.K."

{CHORUS}

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 HOLD HER AND NEVER LET HER DOWN
WELL I KNOW THE LADY THAT'S DOWN ON HER LOVE
CAUSE I USE TO HOLD HER AND HAD THAT SPECIAL TOUCH
BUT WORK TOOK ME AWAY FROM HOME LATE AT NIGHT
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

{REPEAT CHORUS}
