You came into my life like rain upon a barren desert
One smile and I was born again
I felt sure, it wasn't too late
I'd find strength to make me go straight
I had love, and threw it away
Why did they lead me astray?
For, last night in Soho I let my life go
I never told you of some things, I've done, I'm so ashamed of
I thought my foolish past was over and done
I was sure, I'd make a new start
I'd try with all of my heart
I had dreams and broke them in two
I'm just not worthy of you!
For, last night in Soho I let my life go
Well, hi, there, kid, you ain't been around for quite some little while
You got yourself a real cute doll, you're living life in style
But boy, don't get above your station, if you don't want aggravation
Got a little job for you, this is what you gotta do, boy!
That's how last night in Soho I let my life go
Don't cry my baby, as they lead me where no love can help me
Don't stay around to watch me go
Just forget there once was a time
You were proud to call yourself mine
I had love right here in my hand
Why could I not understand?
For, last night in Soho I let my life go
