Hard Luck Woman

There's a letter on the table

And a bottle of ink

There is sadness in my heart

Many thoughts to think

A letter to be written

Things to be said

I stare out my window

And it starts to rain

Now, how should I put this?

For you to see

Never wanted to hurt you

Just believe in me

But I was misleaded

Burned my fingers in fire

Now you feel mistreated

Now I feel like a liar

We used to love each other

Forevermore

You think we still should bother

Or let it go?

See I'm a hard luck woman

And you're not a lucky star

Though we messed it up now

Let's get back to the start

You enjoy your freedom

Or so they say

But your eyes aren't shining

Like yesterday

Though the odds are against me

I just want to try

The flame's still burning

Deep inside

You used to call me baby

Not anymore

Now you call me a cheater

I know the score

Yes I'm a hard luck woman

But you're not a stone cold man

I'm not quitting on this while I still can

I know I'm your woman

You know you're my man

Everyone has a dream, every play has a scene

Every night, every day is a lifetime

Every choice, every voice tears apart my heart

All the days of my life I have waited

And the hope never has really faded

We used to love each other

We know we do

So maybe we should bother

And stop playing a fool

I'll be your hard luck woman

Would you be my hard luck man?

The flame's still burning

Just take my hand

You know I'm your woman

I know you're my man
