"Troubled Women"


I've been given troubled women
I've got a soft spot they can touch every time
Now I really try to ease the pain in those women
I keep driving home this point of mine

I figure the good I've been doing is going unnoticed
By all for the most part I'm involved with every day
But those who would judge me got no way of knowin'
The monster that grows when love goes away

Everybody needs someone to love
Just like you lovin' me
Everybody needs a friend to lean on
Just like me needin' you

Nine and a half out of ten live in misery
Those old broken hearts, lord they're easy to find
Lovin' and losin' is just part of livin'
And sometimes it drives you
Right out of your mind
Sometimes is drives you right out of your mind
