It's getting dark when she awakes
Stares at the ceiling and waits
Wonder how she made it home
Was she alone
Slowly gets up from the bed
To check the bruises on her legs
Always up to have some fun
Oh girl the blues just begun
She's going out again tonight
Before she paints her face
Tears are falling
As evening hides those guilty eyes
She can leave now in the sky
Cause there ain't bar in this town
Where she haven't been or messed around
Here is somebody she don't know
Drinking lonely on his own
(I would hold you like I told you)
Liqueur fixed her shaky hand
Now she will give him a glass
She pretends that doesn't know
Anyone who says hello
(I would hold you like I told you)
Talking slowly drinking fast
Faking stories from the past
(I would hold you like I told you)
Kisses over sticky bar
Let's continue in the car
(I would hold you like I told you)
He likes this move no surprise
With folded blanket around his thighs
(I would hold you like I told you)
Wonder where below the knees
She passes out before he leaves
(I would hold you like I told you)
