Lyrics
Nobody's Woman Now
Marghi Allen
(c) 1982
Can't keep from wondering why
Our love had to end
Thought I'd found my place in the sky
Now I've got to start over again
And I know that I've got to change
But I just don't know how
I'm nobody's woman now.
I guess I got stuck in my ways
Started feeling too secure
Things that I couldn't face
I just chose to ignore
Now suddenly I'm on my own
And My future's in doubt
I'm nobody's woman now.
If I was younger
I'd take it in stride
I'd probably go out on the town
But there's this fear
That keeps me inside
I got so used to you being around.
Morning comes, night falls
Each day is the same
When I was a child
Life was a game that I played
But love's going to hurt you
And there is no way out.
I'm nobody's woman now.
