Lady Love & the Cavalier
Such a hard life to walk alone
Has to kick her habit too
Johnny don't like how she feels
He beat her black and blue
Drive a coal black limousine
A mausoleum to her heart
Lady don't take what she gets
He make sure she fell apart
From where I stood
I watched her falling down and down
Too tired or wasted to make it
To the other side of town
Far from Lonely Street
The other side of town
In the streets that lead downtown
You bare your back to the nightlife still
If you can't escape the stranglehold
You're gonna get your fill
Lady Love she brought this place
To bed with her every night
Now she sleeps alone in peace
Under roses in cold moonlight
From where I stand
I see her falling down and down
Too tired or wasted to make it
To the other side of town
Far from Lonely Street
The other side of town
I'm the only one paid with a smile
She called me her Cavalier
But I came way too late
To take her away from here
Lady Love she brought this place
To bed for the last time tonight
Looks like a prayer she had for peace
Had her in its sights
From where I stood
I watched them put her in the ground
Wish there was something I'd done
From the other side of town
Far from Lonely Street
The other side of town
Has to kick her habit too
Johnny don't like how she feels
He beat her black and blue
Drive a coal black limousine
A mausoleum to her heart
Lady don't take what she gets
He make sure she fell apart
From where I stood
I watched her falling down and down
Too tired or wasted to make it
To the other side of town
Far from Lonely Street
The other side of town
In the streets that lead downtown
You bare your back to the nightlife still
If you can't escape the stranglehold
You're gonna get your fill
Lady Love she brought this place
To bed with her every night
Now she sleeps alone in peace
Under roses in cold moonlight
From where I stand
I see her falling down and down
Too tired or wasted to make it
To the other side of town
Far from Lonely Street
The other side of town
I'm the only one paid with a smile
She called me her Cavalier
But I came way too late
To take her away from here
Lady Love she brought this place
To bed for the last time tonight
Looks like a prayer she had for peace
Had her in its sights
From where I stood
I watched them put her in the ground
Wish there was something I'd done
From the other side of town
Far from Lonely Street
The other side of town
