Lyrics

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 glady said o.k
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 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 man who will love her
And never let her down

Now she's a lady
Down on love
