I've been hurt in love three times Once as a baby then as a lady Now I'm woman As a child I loved so deep I remember cryin' myself to sleep When Daddy left us all alone To make it by ourselves My Momma didn't have no help Momma gave me pretty love But just as sure as heaven's above It left an ugly scar on a young And innocent heart Oh, such a baby Bound to be a lady I've been hurt in love three times Once as a baby (once as a baby) Then as a lady (then as a lady) Now I'm a woman Time passed by I went to school I met a guy I thought was made especially for me Oh, how I loved him I thought the whole world of him Why he broke my heart? I guess I'll never know I just didn't seem to fit into his plans Oh, such a lady My Momma's little baby I've been hurt in love three times Once as a baby (once as a baby) Then as a lady (then as a lady) Now I'm a woman Now that I am old And I find the stars my brothers claimed I'll be lucky if I can find One true love in my lifetime Lord, I'll be doin' just fine I've been hurt in love three times Once as a baby (once as a baby) Again as a lady (again as a lady) Now I'm a woman.
