You may find her
In a tavern
In the cheap part of town
With bright lights
And music
And a crowd gathered round
It may be too late now
To tell her
But I love her more today
But I didn't lose her
I threw her away
She stood by me
Looked for the good in me
When she knew I was wrong
I would love her
Just enough
To keep her hanging on
She stayed much longer
Than she should
Then she walked out one day
But I didn't lose her
I threw her away
She only wanted me to love her
And to tell her so each day
Now she's somewhere in a tavern
Wasting her life away
But don't be too fast
To condemn her
For what she might do or say
For I didn't lose her
I threw her away
