[Intro]
I've been hurt in love three times
Once as a baby
Then as a lady
Now I'm a woman

[Verse 1]
As I child I loved so deep
I remember crying myself to sleep
When Daddy left us all alone
To make it by our self
My Momma didn't have no help
Momma gave me any love but
Just as sure as heavens above
It left an ugly scar
On a young and innocent heart
Oh, such a baby
Bound to be a lady

[Chorus]
I've been hurt in love three times
Once as a baby (Once as a baby)
Then as a lady (Then as a lady)
Now I'm a woman

[Verse 2]
Time passed by, I went to school
I met a guy I thought was made especially for mе
Oh, how I loved him
I thought the whole world of him
Why hе broke my heart, I guess I'll never know
I just didn't seem to fit into his plans
Oh, such a lady
My Momma's little baby
[Chorus]
I've been hurt in love three times
Once as a baby (Once as a baby)
Then as a lady (Then as a lady)
Now I'm a woman

[Bridge]
Now that I am old enough
I'll understand what good has done
And I'll be lucky if I can find one true love in my lifetime
Lord, I'll be doing just fine

[Chorus]
I've been hurt in love three times
Once as a baby (Once as a baby)
Again as a lady (Then as a lady)
Now I'm a woman
