The lights come on, she takes the floor
The crowd inside applaudes
And it"s over
She doesn"t need to go with you, but she takes
Her chance hopin" you will be gentle
For she longs to be the object of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers,
softly take her breath away
Tired now, she lies awake
With all those lonely years comin"down around her
Now what"s it for a ten minute show a five minute man
To make her feel like nothin" again
But she longs to be the object of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers,
softly take her pain away.
The roof creaks from above
And she hears the sound of headboards makin"love
And she wonders are they happy or are they just like her
So another night is lost again
And the good old sun peeks in like a friend
Someone she knows
The bags are packed, it"s time to go
A call to the man outside it"s another show
Still she longs to be the object of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers
Softly take her life away
The crowd inside applaudes
And it"s over
She doesn"t need to go with you, but she takes
Her chance hopin" you will be gentle
For she longs to be the object of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers,
softly take her breath away
Tired now, she lies awake
With all those lonely years comin"down around her
Now what"s it for a ten minute show a five minute man
To make her feel like nothin" again
But she longs to be the object of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers,
softly take her pain away.
The roof creaks from above
And she hears the sound of headboards makin"love
And she wonders are they happy or are they just like her
So another night is lost again
And the good old sun peeks in like a friend
Someone she knows
The bags are packed, it"s time to go
A call to the man outside it"s another show
Still she longs to be the object of affection to a man
And she let all the words that he whispers
Softly take her life away
