She had a long line of lovers,
Mostly the gambling kind
I didn't want to be like the others
And get left behind
I heard about her bad reputation
And how she had a heart of stone
How she'd give a man a moment of pleasure
To get what she wants

I had a weakness for her kind of woman
I could never deny
I knew I wouldn't ever see it coming
'Til I was lost in her eyes
But the more I tried to keep her at a distance
The more I became aware
She was breaking down my resistance
'Til I no longer cared

(CHORUS)
Tonight I saw the red, red rose and the yellow moon
Shining on the silhouette lying in the shadows of my bedroom
I knew it when we made love and I couldn't quit calling her name
That I'd been hit by another fast movin' train
I'd been hit by another fast movin' train

I wondered as I lay there and held her
Why can't this be real
And why the fear wouldn't let me tell her
How good she made me feel
I doubted if she would even be around when the morning comes
I waited 'til she fell asleep to whisper,
"Baby, look what you've done."

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
