Well, once I was a lover
With beautiful long brown hair
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) When I walk down any street
Men would stop and stare
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Boys would whistle
And their eyes would shine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) My skirt would swish
To show my long strong legs so fine
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So fine Was a time, I was a mother
Darling children would come for me
I loved them and I'd feed them
And in their eyes such love I'd see
They'd call my name in times of need And I'd be there
(And they loved me)
And they loved me
(And we loved you) And I loved them
(And they loved me)
And they loved me
(And we loved you) Once I was a man
My cock as hard as wood
I stood as strong as any tree
Look back, the winds are catching me So, my woman, love me
And you know I am strong
I was raised and *** as trees
I stood My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me)
My baby loves me
(My baby loves me) I was back to this time itself
Deep and sharp within my empty cell
A comedy of errors I've become
And all my devils, I forgot
And on my name or where I've come Someone take me back to the fields
Where I need to be
So once again I can stand tall and feel
Once more, a tree
