25 Women Ago

She used to love me

But she just couldn't say it

Her friends just told me

I just found out today

I could have had her in my arms

But I didn't know

That she used to love me

But that was twenty-five women ago

If she just could have told me

You know I would have been true

But she knows all about the girls that I've had

There's not a thing I can do

Why did they have to tell me

I wish that I just didn't know

That I could have been happy

But that was twenty-five women ago

I close my eyes and I see her

She's even lovelier now

I want to ask her to give me one more chance

But I don't even know how

And then she speaks to me softly

And says there's one thing that I know

You get but one chance at true love

And yours was twenty-five women ago
