Hard Luck Woman
There’s a letter on the tableAnd a bottle of inkThere is sadness in my heartMany thoughts to thinkA letter to be writtenThings to be saidI stare out my windowAnd it starts to rain
Now, how should I put this?For you to seeNever wanted to hurt youJust believe in meBut I was misleadedBurned my fingers in fireNow you feel mistreatedNow I feel like a liar
We used to love each otherForevermoreYou think we still should botherOr let it go?See I’m a hard luck womanAnd you’re not a lucky starThough we messed it up nowLet’s get back to the start
You enjoy your freedomOr so they sayBut your eyes aren’t shiningLike yesterdayThough the odds are against meI just want to tryThe flame’s still burningDeep inside
You used to call me babyNot anymoreNow you call me a cheaterI know the scoreYes I’m a hard luck womanBut you’re not a stone cold manI’m not quitting on this while I still canI know I’m your womanYou know you’re my man
Everyone has a dream, every play has a sceneEvery night, every day is a lifetimeEvery choice, every voice tears apart my heartAll the days of my life I have waitedAnd the hope never has really faded
We used to love each otherWe know we doSo maybe we should botherAnd stop playing a foolI’ll be your hard luck womanWould you be my hard luck man?The flame’s still burningJust take my handYou know I’m your womanI know you’re my man
