Oh some folks get lucky, only a precious few Born into money, kept clean as the dew But there were no silver spoons on the wrong side of the tracks Just a rusty old fork stuck square in your back Oh Celina! I was bruised and battered Confused and shattered Had no strength left in reserve I was but half a man until you took my hand You're still twice the woman I deserve And there in the gutter is where I drew my first breath The minute I started living I started praying for death 'Cause there were just no footholds to help me over the wall And the farther I climbed up the harder I'd fall Oh Celina! I was bruised and battered Confused and shattered Had no strength left in reserve I was but half a man until you took my hand You're still twice the woman I deserve Drunken and disheveled Hand in hand with the devil Not a useful bone in my body or so the prostitutes would say But you gave me a home that I could call my own so far and away from my destitute days Oh Celina! I was bruised and battered Confused and shattered Had no strength left in reserve I was but half a man until you took my hand You're still twice the woman I deserve
