Intro: | A | A | E | E | B7 | B7 | E | E |
EB7E
Rachel pays good money for the clothes she wears,
AE
For her there's nothing gained without a cost.
AE
Twice a week she comes to see me now,
B7E
And twice a week she leaves me alone
EB7E
Somewhat like a kid she is at forty two.
AE
Her slender body shows the miles.
AE
Two husbands gone, Lord and one's still at home.
B7E
They gave her money, but no child.
ChorusAE
Her starving body craves a man to love,
AB7
While in her heart, she wants a child.
AE
I'm just the answer to a mother's love,
B7E
And to a young girl's hungry eyes.
Inst. (Same As Intro)
EB7E
Now Rachel she's the leading lady of this town.
AE
She plays the role as smooth as ice.
AE
She's the woman standing behind her man,
B7E
I'm just the kid behind the wife.
EB7E
Rachel taught me things I guess I'd have never known,
AE
Like how this world is run on pride
AE
If you can't see yourself with nothing on,
B7E
Then you've got nothin' left to hide
ChorusAE
Her starving body craves a man to love,
AB7
While in her heart, she wants a child.
AE
I'm just the answer to a mother's love,
B7E
And to a young girl's hungry eyes.
