Turning of the Tide |
| 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 |
| But 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? |
| Boys all say you look so fine |
| Don’t come back for a second time |
| But 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, forever more? |
| Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume |
| Creaking bed in the hotel room |
| But you can’t hide from the Turning of the Tide |
| 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 |
| But you can’t hide from the Turning of the Tide |
| From the Turning of the Tide |
