Who could deny you

I know your kind
You've been through the mill
Now you're standing in line
Too proud to beg and too tired to cry
About the one that got away

Your first love
Oh he taught you how to pay
And now you're all alone
You've got your misery
You were not taught so well sister
That's why you ended up with me

Now that you've found me
Oh darling please don't tease me
All of my naked years are here in front of you
Come here darling
Lay down by my side

Lovin' the way you do,
Oh, woman won't you tell me
Tell me who
Tell me who can deny you

You love and you lose
You're lost in the blue
Your turn again
You've paid your way
but it's under your skin
And it'll never let you go
under your skin so deep
It never really shows

You're all alone
but you've got your misery
The sea is raging honey
reaching for you and me

Now that you've found me
Oh darling please don't tease me
All of my naked years are here in front of you
Come here darling
Lay down by my side

Loving the way you do
Oh, tell me please
Tell me who can deny you
