Turning Of The Tide Songtext / Lyric

How many boys, one night stands,

How many lips, how many hands, have held you

Like I'm holding you tonight

Too many nights, staying up late,

Too much powder and too much paint

No you can't hide from the turning of the tide



Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress

Did they find some tender moment there in your caress






The boys all say "You look so fine"

They don't come back for a second time

Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide



Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before

Did he tell you that he'd love you, darling, for evermore?



Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume,

Creaking bed in a hotel room

Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide



Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress

Did they find some tender moment there in your caress



The boys all say "You look so fine",

They don't come back for a second time

Oh you can't hide from the turning of the tide
