Cheap Affairs (Album Version)

There is an oh so bitter
Shady side to romance
Where one cheap affair
Is followed by another
It was my misfortune to suffer there
But baby I don't care
Now that you're here to love me
Before I found my way to you
I rolled and tumbled through some cheap affairs
Way down where life is loose
I've been the victim of some cheap affairs
Ooh, every once in a while
Someone would smile
And I would take another chance
Ooh, every once in a while
I went through the motions of making love
Making love, love
Cheap affairs
Living in the loneliness
Cheap affairs
Living out the blues, oh baby
Can you love a woman like me
After all this time
Of cheap affairs, oh
I may not be the virgin lover
That your mother talked about
I have been touched by human hands
It was my misfortune to suffer there
But honey I don't care
Now that you really love me
Before I found my way to you
Each interlude became a cheap affair
And every raunchy rendezvous
Was nothing more than just a cheap affair
Yes, I know I've been low down
But I'm the woman you've been waiting for
Ooh, I'm a tough mama now
I can blow your whistle till you say no more
No more, no more
Cheap affairs
Living in the loneliness
Cheap affairs
Living out the blues, ooh my baby
Can you love a woman like me
After all this time
Of cheap affairs, oh
