                 A WOMAN LIKE THAT

She had fire in her eyes and a devil-may-care attitude
And the cut of her dress revealed more than just her tattoo
I fell under her spell, I could tell it was more than the wine
I couldn't resist her painted red lips close to mine

     A woman like that, who spends all her time in the dark
     A woman like that, with a permanent scar for a heart
     She wasn't born that way
     It took time and a lot of mistakes
     It takes good love gone bad, to make a woman like that

She said there was a time, she was on top of it all
But the one that she gave her love to, set her up for a fall
Now she's down all the time, and she's finding herself feeling lost
So she searches the night, hopin' luck's on her side - but it's not

     A woman like that, who spends all her time in the dark
     A woman like that, with a permanent scar for a heart
     She wasn't born that way
     It took time and a lot of mistakes
     It takes good love gone bad, to make a woman like that
