A long string of lovers helped blur the line between true love and lust.

The cycle of sin she found herself in once the word got out

It broke her heart to realize what they were all about.
G                                    D                                         C                                                 G  
After she gave all she had they didn?t treat her so well.
C                                 G                                      D                                 G  
Each time she went their way, another petal fell.

Sometimes life leads you down a road that you don?t choose.

You try so hard to win but you still loose.

I have always been there when she?s cried a million tears.
C                                    G                                              D  
But I know why she can?t see that I?ve loved her for years.
G                                      D                                            C                                                    G  
In the fertile soil of my hands I know real love could bloom.
C                                      G                                 D                                      G  
I would give up everything to bathe in her perfume.

She?s always been called easy,
