How many boys, one night stands, |
|
How many lips, how many hands, have held you |
|
Like I'm holding you tonight |
|
Too many nights, staying up late, |
|
Too much powder and too much paint |
|
No you can't hide from the turning of the tide |
|
Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress |
|
Did they find some tender moment there in your caress |
|
The boys all say "You look so fine" |
|
They don't come back for a second time |
|
Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide |
|
Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before |
|
Did he tell you that he'd love you, darling, for evermore? |
|
Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume, |
|
Creaking bed in a hotel room |
|
Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide |
|
Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress |
|
Did they find some tender moment there in your caress |
|
The boys all say "You look so fine", |
|
They don't come back for a second time |
|
Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide |
