There's a letter on the table and a bottle of ink
There's a sadness in my heart, many thoughts to think
A letter to be written, things should be said
I stare out my window, and it starts to rain

Now how should I put this for you to see
Never wanted to hurt you, just believe in me
But I was misleaded, burned my fingers in fire
Now you feel mistreated, now I feel like a liar

We used to love each other forever more
You think we should still bother or let it go
See I'm a hard luck woman and you're not a lucky star
Though we messed it up now, let's get back to the start

You enjoy your freedom, or so they say
But your eyes aren't shining like yesterday
Now the odds are against me, I just wanna try
The flame's still burning deep inside

You used to call me baby, not anymore
Now you call me a cheater, I know the score
Yes I'm a hard luck woman, but you're not a stone cold man
I'm not quitting on this while I still can
I know I'm your woman, you know you're my man

Everyone has a dream, every play has a scene
Every night, every day is a lifetime
Every joyce, every voice tears apart my heart
All the days of my life I've waited
And the hope never has really faded

We used to love each other, we know we do
So maybe we should bother and stop playing a fool
I'll be your hard luck woman, would you be my hard luck man
The flame's still burning, just take my hand
I know I'm your woman, you know you're my man
