Second Hand Woman
by Will Jennings Joe Sample recording of 1979 from Take It Home (MCA 11770) She told me she'd been loved before If I took a little less She'd give a little more She told me she'd been hurt a lot But somehow she still knew What a woman's love was for She said if I would take a second-hand woman The night wouldn't be so long She said if I would take a second-hand woman She'd put love where love belonged I said that's alright with me I'll do everything I can After all baby I'm a second-hand man I showed her Where I hid the scars From all the battles I had fought In lost and lonely wars It took al night for us to understand Life had led to us Loves old soft and healing hand
