I've known about you for a while now
When he leaves me he wears a smile now
As soon as he's away from me
In your arms is where he wants to be
But you're the one he rushes home to
You're the one he gave his name to
I never see his face in the early morning light
You have his morning his daytimes and sometimes I have his nights
But does he love you does he love you
Like he loves me like he loves me
Does he think of you does he think of you
When he's holding me
And does he whisper does he whisper all of his fantasies
Does he love you does he love you like he's been lovin' me
But when he's with me he says he needs me
And that he wants me that he believes in me
And when I'm in his arms oh he swears there's no one else
Is he deceiving me or am I deceiving myself
But does he love you does he love you...

Saturday night out on the town feeling so sure of myself
Meeting some friends sharing some laughs not thinking of anything else
Then one of them leaned over my shoulder and all at once the party was over
They asked about you and suddenly it all came back to me
Then all the walls around my heart came crashing at my feet
When they asked about you oh they asked about you
I was doing okay until they asked about you
How could they know what it would do all they did was mention your name
And just like that the hurting was back that's when I knew nothing had changed
What a time for old memories to find me just when I thought I'd put 'em behind me
They asked about you and suddenly it all came back to me...

I remember it all very well lookin' back it was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a oneroom rundown shack on the outskirts of New Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent to say the least we were hard pressed
Then mama spent every last penny we had to buy me a satin dancin' dress
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair and she painted my eyes and lips
Then I stepped into my satin dancin' dress
That had a split on the side clean up to my hips
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
And starin' back from the lookin' glass
There stood a woman where a half grown kid had stood
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and she kissed my cheek
Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes when she started to speak
She looked at a pitful shack and then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said your pa's run off and I'm real sick and the baby's gonna starve to death
She handed me a heart shaped locket that said to thine ownself be true
And I shivered as I watched a rouch crawl across the toe of my high heeled shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was talkin' askin' mama what do I do
Just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy and they'll be nice to you
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Lord forgive me for what I do but if you want out well it's up to you
Now don't let me down you better start movin' uptown
Well that was the last time I saw my ma the night I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and took the baby mama died and I ain't been back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn and for me there was no way out
And it wasn't very long till I knew exactly what my mama'd been talkin' about
I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow
That I was gonna be a lady someday though I didn't know when or how
But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life with my head hung down in shame
I might have been born just plain white trash but Fancy was my name
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
It wasn't long after a benevolent man took me off the street
And one week later I was pourin' his tea in a five room motel suite
I charmed a king a congressman and an occasional aristocrat
Then I got me a Georgia mansion in an elegant New York townhouse flat
And I ain't done bad
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites that would call me bad
And criticize mama for turnin' me out no matter how little we had
But though I ain't had to worry about nothin' for nigh on fifteen years
I can still hear the desperation in my poor mama's voice ringin' in my ear
She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down
Lord forgive me for what I do but if you want out well it's up to you
Now don't let me down your mama's gonna help you uptown
Oh I guess she did

There were no angry words at all as we carried boxes down the hall
One by one we put them in your car
Nothing much for us to say one last goodbye and you drove away
I watched your tail lights as they faded in the dark
I couldn't face the night in that lonely bed
So I laid down on the couch instead
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me as it wakes me from the dark
I guess the world didn't stop for my broken heart
Clocks still ticking life goes on radio still plays a song
As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place
And it takes all the strength I've got to stumble to the coffee pot
The first of many lonely mornings I've got to face
You call to see if I'm OK look out the window and I just say
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep then I cried myself to sleep...
Oh I guess the world ain't gonna stop for my broken heart

Another morning another day in your life without someone there by you
You had a dream again last night you wonder why the dream just won't come true
So what you gonna do walk around with your head hung down
Maybe that's the reason you've never found the one for you
So you've got to let your love shine
Through your eyes and your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart you'll find somebody wants to be a part of your life
And if you just believe and say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Yes it will one day love will find it's way to you
[ instrumental ]
Another party and all your friends are smiles oh you might meet someone new
And bein' close would be so nice in this life the chances are so few
So what you gonna do walk around with your head hung down...
Don't you think you're the only one
Oh somewhere in the world there's a lonely heart looking for someone
[ instrumental ]
You've got to let your love shine through you eyes your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside your heart
You'll find somebody wants to be a part of your life cause your eyes your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Somebody wants to be a part of your life

She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready now she's not so sure
She thought she'd done some livin' but now she's wonderin'
What she's living for
Now she's feeling that there's something more
Is there life out there so much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond her family and her home
She's done what she should should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave she's just wonderin' is there life out there
She's always lived for tomorrow she's never learned how to live for today
Oh she's dying to try something foolish do something crazy or just get away
Oh something for herself for a change
Is there life out there so much she hasn't done...
There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
Oh she looks out the window she wonders again
Is there life out there so much she hasn't done...
Oh is there life out there oh oh
Is there life out there so much she hasn't done...

I overheard the conversation your name was mentioned in
They didn't talk about us only her again
I didn't know the reason but hung on every word
They said some things I wish I hadn't heard
Oh rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when it's true
Oh rumor has it she has you
It sounds so small a whisper can be heard a mile away
And people here will gossip there's nothing else to say
I wouldn't have a thing about it but I see it in your eyes
Those stories going round this town aren't lies
Oh rumor has it she has you...
Oh rumor has it she has you

Oh ain't life wonderful when everything is right
But sometimes wonderful can fall apart sometimes
And when your troubles knock you down pick yourself up off the ground
And walk on walk on nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on walk on don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
You'll be better off in the long run and walk on
Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
But even through your heart breaks you know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through goodbye don't you ever break your stride
And walk on oh walk on nothing ever stays wrong that long...
[ instrumental ]
And walk on oh walk on nothing ever stays wrong that long...

We lie in the dark I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
Oh how I long I long to hear your voice
Desperate to talk yearning to touch
Burning inside cause I want you so much
So I say I need you and leave you no choice
You lie and you don't want to hurt me
So you lie buy a little time and I go along what else can I do
Maybe it's wrong but you know how much I love you
So you lie till you can find a way to say goodbye you lie
How long until you just can't go on
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go that's what you want to do
Oh but you don't know if it's the right thing to do
So you lie and you don't want to hurt me...

The greatest man I never knew lived just down the hall
And everyday we said hello but never touched at all
He was in his paper I was in my room
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon
The greatest man I never knew came home late every night
He never had too much to say too much was on his mind
I never really knew him oh and now it seems so sad
Everything he gave to us took all he had
Then the days turned into years and the mem'ries to black and white
He grew cold like an old winter wind blowing across my life
The greatest words I never heard I guess I'll never hear
The man I thought could never die has been dead almost a year
Oh he was good at business but there was business left to do
He never said he loved me guess he thought I knew
