Dark Lady, I'Ll Take It Like a Man

Living in a house divided, too much to endure
Save up all your tears, you’ll soon be on your own
Love and understanding, how should I ask for more
I know sooner or later, we all sleep alone

Save up all your tears, you’ll soon be on your own
My dear, you haven’t seen the last of me
I know sooner or later, we all sleep alone
Dark lady, I’ll take it like a man, you'll see

My dear, you haven’t seen the last of me
Loving you is all I really want to do
Dark lady, I’ll take it like a man, you'll see
A song for the lonely, right now, I’ll sing for you

Loving you is all I really want to do
Whatever you're searching, I hope you find it
A song for the lonely, right now, I’ll sing for you
With you it’s all or nothing, stars have aligned it

Whatever you're searching, I hope you find it
I’d make it better now if I could turn back time
With you it’s all or nothing, stars have aligned it
But that’s the way of love; to give up is a crime

I’d make it better now if I could turn back time
Believe me; I was happy when I found someone
But that’s the way of love; to give up is a crime
I wasn’t strong enough, life had not yet begun

Believe me; I was happy when I found someone
After all, my poor heart was one that only grieves
I wasn’t strong enough, life had not yet begun
I was lost in a world of gypsies, tramps and thieves

After all, my poor heart was one that only grieves
I was still a prisoner of life’s lonely games
I was lost in a world of gypsies, tramps and thieves
And now, you’ve pulled the trigger, just like Jesse James

I was still a prisoner of life’s lonely games
Love and understanding, how should I ask for more
And now, you’ve pulled the trigger, just like Jesse James
Living in a house divided, too much to endure
