Lusty Lady - Tom Jones

Lusty lady just died

Yes, that’s all the paper said

If they knew her story, Lord, they’d cry, yeah

And build a monument instead

Lusty lady in a smoke-filled room

Trying to raise a stranger’s child

He’d told her he’d be comin' home soon

But his youthful acts just drove him wild

So lusty, lusty lady, she was thinking

'Bout all her so-called friends

They would not her help when times were low, no

So she hung a scarlet letter outside the door

Lusty, lusty lady just died

Yes, that’s all the paper said

If they knew her story, Lord, they’d cry, yeah

And build a monument instead

Oh, Lord!

Ah, many, many times the room drew

Mama moved me just to hide

All the strangers who took my place

As she took off her tower of pride

Lusty lady, I hope you can hear

'Cause I done told the truth about you

Oh, sweet lady, I want you to know

I’m gonna love you 'til the day I die

Lusty, lusty lady, she just died

That’s all the papers said

If they knew her story, Lord, they’d die, yeah

And build a monument instead

Lusty, lusty lady, she just died

Yes, that’s all the damn paper said

If they knew her story, Lord, they’d cry, cry, cry

And build a monument instead

Oh, lusty, lusty lady, she just died

Ooh, that’s all the paper said

But if they knew her story, Lord, they’d cry…
