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 LEARNIN'
HOW TO PLAY
SHE NEVER
THOUGHT THAT LOVE
COULD EVER END
SO SOON
HER MIND DRIFTS
BACK IN TIME
TO A MIDSUMMER MOON
WHEN HE ASKED HER
TO MARRY
AND SHE GLADLY SAID OK
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 IN TO 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
NEVER LET HER DOWN
NOW SHE'S A LADY
DOWN ON LOVE
