Once you were a lonely woman
Didn't have a friend in the world
Couldn't even take what was given
Didn't know the shell from the pearl
Now you wanna let me go
But, first you gotta make things right

And it's a ladies' choice, now look what you've done
It's a ladies' choice, but the choice is next to none
It's a ladies' choice, now look what you've done
It's a ladies' choice, but it's not the only one

And I won't make it seem that it's all that bad
'Cause you're makin' your way and of that much
I'm glad, oh yes, I'm glad for you
It took a long, long time
Of playing everbody's fool
Now you're really out there walkin' the line
Yeah goodbyes are rough but this one is up to you

And it's a ladies' choice, now look what you've done
It's a ladies' choice, but the choice is next to none
It's a ladies' choice, now look what you've done
It's a ladies' choice, but it's not the only one

And I won't make it seem that it's all that bad
'Cause you're makin' your way and of that much
I'm glad, oh yes I'm really glad
It took a long, long time
Yeah goodbyes are rough
But this one is up to you

And it's a ladies' choice, now look what you've done
It's a ladies' choice, but the choice is next to none
It's a ladies' choice, now look what you've done
It's a ladies' choice, but it's not the only one

Ladies' choice now look what you've done
Now look what you've,
Now look what you've done
