 This is the dinner prepared

 This is the dress that I made

 This is the child I brought up

And this is the woman you laid

This is the woman you laid

 This is the perfume I wore

 This is the hotel we stayed

 This is the way that I lay

And this is the woman you laid

This is the woman you laid

We promised ourselves this is no one-night stand

Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band

And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your hand

 We pretend

 There's a tear, there's a tear

Not through confusion through fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar

 This is the smile that I wore

 This is the song that we played

 This is the way that I lay

And this is the woman you laid

This is the woman you laid

Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret

A kiss and good-bye and a long cigarette

But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet

 Can't pretend

 It's a tear, it's a tear

Not through confusion through fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar

And knowing at least that love came so ne. . .ar

Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed te. . .ar

Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone

Root out the photos you've already shown

'Cos this one night you won't sleep alone

 Just one ni. . . . . . . ight

 It's a tear, it's a tear

Not through confusion through fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar

And knowing at least that love came so near

Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed te. . .ar

 There's a tear, there's a tear

Not through confusion through fear

Not through confusion through fear.
