When you put me down the word got around and it wasn't long until I found
Every man that came around had one thing on his mind
They looked at me like so much dirt which only added to the hurt
I never knew the world was so unkind

I went to work in a tavern the hours were long and the pay was short
And I waited hoping you'd walk through the door
In just one night I overheard more sly remarks and dirty words
Than I'd ever heard in my whole life before

And if I ever needed someone it was then
If not to love me to least have been my friend
That's when he came to me and picked me up from where you let me fall
And had me right back feeling like a woman in no time at all

And when I really needed someone where were you
Who were you holding when my world was falling through
He stood beside me when you left me standing back against the wall
And had me right back feeling like a woman
Had me right back feeling like a woman after all
