You may find her in a tavern in the cheap part of town With bright lights and music and a crowd gathered round It may be too late now to tell her but I love her more today But I didn't lose her, I threw her away. She stood by me, looked for the good in me When she knew I was wrong I would love her just enough to keep her hanging on She stayed much longer than she should Then she walked out one day But I didn't lose her, I threw her away. She only wanted me to love her and to tell her so each day Now, she's somewhere in a tavern wasting her life away But don't be too fast to condemn her for what she might do or say For I didn't lose her, I threw her away...
