Lady Down On Love

Lady Down On Love - Alabama

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
