If Love Is a Red Dress [Hang Me in Rags]

My heart is empty

Your eyes are dull

Once we were hungry

Now we are full

These ties that bind us

Can't beat these chains

If love is shelter

I'm gonna walk in the rain

You were my angel

Now you are real

So like a stranger

Colder than steel

The morning after

No one should brag

If love is a red dress

Well hang me in rags

Oh well, there goes the fairy tale

Lord, ain't it a shame

In all this comfort

I can't take the strain

If we played even

I'd be your queen

But someone was cheatin'

And it wasn't me

I played on the table

You held something back

If love is aces

Gimme the jack
