You're a Very Lovely Woman

Emitt Rhodes


You're a very lovely woman 
but I think I'd better 
turn you down this time

Cause you've used all of 
your charms on me and I kind 
of miss the things I left behind

A girl who loves me, 
is thinking of me, 
my home and friends
But you're a lovely woman

A very lovely woman

And now you ask me to forget 
the things it took me 
long to get and find

And go away with you again 
and follow you in sin 
and drink your wine

I've made my mind up 
I will not wind up 
a life in sin

But you're a lovely woman
A very lovely woman

And oh even though you're lovely
Your world is ugly 
so come back no more

For all that you have to offer
Is not enough to ruin my life for

You're a very lovely woman, 
very lovely yes you are

And oh even though you're lovely
Your world is ugly 
so come back no more

For all that you have to offer
Is not enough to ruin my life for

You're a very lovely woman 
but I think I'd better 
turn you down this time

Cause you've used all of 
your charms on me and I kind 
of miss the things I left behind

A girl who loves me, 
is thinking of me, 
my home and friends

But you're a lovely woman
A very lovely woman
