Alabama - Lady Down On Love Lyrics






It's her first night on the town since she was just eighteen
A lady down on love and out of hope and dreams
The ties that once bound her now are broke away
And she's like a baby, just learning how to play.

She never thought that love could ever end so soon
Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon
When he asked her to marry and she gladly said okay
And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday.

Now, she's a lady down on love
She needs somebody to gently pick her up
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound
To a man who would love her and never let her down.

Well, I know a lady that's down on her love
'Cause I used to hold her and have that special touch
But work took me a way from home late at nights
And I wasn't there when she turned out the lights
Then both of us got lonely and I gave into lust
And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust.

Now, she's a lady down on love
She needs somebody to gently pick her up
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound
To a man who would love her and never let her down
Now she's a lady down on love...

Alabama Lady Down On Love Comments
  1. R.... R....

    This song made me cry as it applies to men as much as ladies. My wife of 29 years recently divorced me after I retired and my income went down so I couldn't afford to buy her a new car like she wanted. Our Injustice system gave her half of everything I spent my life earning. What really hurts is knowing now that the only reason she stayed with me was for money and so she wouldn't have to be responsible for taking care of herself. I will get over this in time and move on with my life, but I don't think I'll ever be able to trust another woman, which is sad.

  2. W.... F....

    Sorry about your little 8 year old sister getting hickies by some pervert

  3. W.... F....

    Sorry they exploit you I didn’t know it was wrong!😔👺

  4. M.... B....

    Ladies, there are some good guys out here who will treat you like you deserve. I'm sorry you got your heart broken but you have to be open to love and let a true gentleman in your life. I'm 56, went on a date last night with a beautiful lady, I felt so excited and attracted to her and felt like a teenager first experience. We were getting along great and I was feeling so happy and confident that she might be the one. She was sitting in a high barstool and I was standing beside her, rubbing her neck and kissing her. She looked at me and said, "damned, you've got a hard on!". Then I felt crushed when she told me she wasn't going to give me a chance because of her past hurt and she didn't want to be vulnerable again. I should probably just move on and find a good woman who has a bright future ahead of her and not one who is mired in the past. Are there any out there? Why would anyone waste their today to relive yesterday's hurt?

    Guys dont cheat on your wife or girlfriend. You risk losing the love of your life and once the trust is lost the relationship can never truly be the same. True love very seldom comes along in life and if it does you must embrace and cherish it forever.

  6. J.... P....

    I used to have such a crush on a guy who sang this song in my Dads band. He knew it so when he could, he would sing it for me. It has always been my favorite song. Its the harmony. The best harmony ever. And my crush, 20 some odd years later I am with him! I am no longer a Lady Down On Love

  7. J.... B....

    Dam........takes me back.

  8. M.... C....

    I so remember slow-dancing to this with a girl I really loved when I was 18 years old. What a beautiful song.

  9. s.... w....

    I lost my wife due to stupidity after 15 yrs. Yes I'm deeply stupid. If u love her do it right.

  10. K.... C....

  11. T.... T....

  12. A.... P....

    Once you lose your soulmate and they’re waiting on you in Heaven, it’s easy to be “Down on Love.” I love and miss you Peeps every single day! 🧖🏻‍♂️

  13. l.... ....

    👍👍🤤🤤👍👍👍👍👍👍🤤🤤👍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅😀😂😂😂😝🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌅🌅🌅🌅

  14. S.... D....

    I don’t believe there is true love.

  15. A.... W....

    This is about a woman who has been so badly hurt but desires to love unconditionally but afraid to do so. This statement is about me.

  16. J.... S....

    almost makes me cry every damn time

  17. J.... C....

    Beautiful song I have lived this with a man I loved more than life but he broke my heart into a million pieces and he didn’t think twice about all the hurt he gave me but u know what goes around comes around and he will get his and there are some good guys out there I just never found one a broken heart mends just takes time and that man I loved more than life today I hate him but what he did to me actually made me a real strong woman so guess u can say I’m a survivor

    J.... C....

    I'm so sorry Jennie. Alot of times men just don't appreciate what they have. You must believe there are good guys out there. Just looking at your pic you are very beautiful. You need a friend to help you thru this. Mike.

    J.... C....

    pearl drums
    Thank you so much for your kind words
    Sometimes it can really help a lot and I
    Have never gotten kind words from this man he never told me I was beautiful only bad things but again thank you I needed to hear something nice

    J.... C....

    @Jennie Castillo. You are very welcome. I don't know you but im sure your just a sweetheart someone didn't appreciate.

  18. A.... S....

    I was suppose to go see them on October 4th.. My 40th birthday present from my mother.. But Randy is ill.. Prayers to you Randy.. And I hope you get better soon.. It would make me the happiest woman alive to see Alabama with my mother..

  23. K.... N....

    This song brings me to tears everytime. Cheating hurts and if you don't want to lose the one that you love don't do it. My X will never forgive himself for all that he did. But I will never ever take him back

  24. b.... ....

  29. D.... H....

    Imagine if In This Moment covered this song.

    D.... H....

    That would be interesting!

  30. J.... M....

    My goodness, such broken hearts in these comments. Chin up, people. I say it's better to have loved and lost than to be stuck with some miserable bastard/bitch for the rest of your life. I'll be damned if I'll let anyone set the limits of my happiness. When the music stops, my toes are still going to be tapping from the song that's inside of me.

  31. J.... W....

    My grandma who just passed had this record and would listen to it. I can’t help but cry thinking about this song.

    Can there be love for someone who has had not one---but 3 { three! } males in a row who have been gay/bisexual in her life? I don't understand why they don't leave me the hell alone! I feel like I'm being wasted as a female. Yeah, I no longer believe that love exists if it ever has. This is my story. Screw it all, I'm done.............

  66. S.... ....

    The best yes! Jesus is our ultimate love. He sees all our hurts, our wounds. Only Jesus can heal our hearts and forgive our sins and bring us to Heaven. You can trust Him. Making Peace with God http://safeguardyoursoul.com/peace-with-god/

  76. M.... ....

    i love this song.

  77. M.... J....

    Alabama is at the top of my list of 80’s memories !!

  78. K.... P....

    Of course not all the blame goes to the woman but IT IS TRUE that no matter what they say, most of them like bad boys. Then, SURPRISE! They get shit on. So instead of choosing a good man next time around, they hook up with another "exciting" bad boy, get shit on again, go to oprah and proclaim all men are bad. I've heard so many over the last 40 years who admitted they knew it was a terrible idea but they did it anyway and had to pay the price. I raised my sons to be polite gentlemen and luckily they found two level-headed women and are having wonderful lives.

  79. E.... S....

    Yes indeed, this song is about infidelity, however, I think it is also a stern warning to everyone out there. In the song, he says, "she needs somebody to gently pick her up, she's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound to a man who would love her and never let her down." What he is saying here is that, "If you don't take care of that special lady, there will be somebody else there that is just dying for the chance to do just that." No person alive should have to live with someone he or she can't trust, but on the other hand (and I cannot apologize for this belief), no person alive should be with someone he or she does not feel trusts them.

  80. M.... B....

    xhasdfc---;;

  81. S.... G....

  85. S.... T....

    Well, I guess this is my story...

  86. L.... ....

    How can someone just pick up and leave without saying goodbye. Knowing that this woman love him with all her hurt.

  87. A.... D....

    SO SAD HE DID NOT I LEFT HIM > SO LONELY FUCK HIM

  88. J.... T....

    Beautiful song this decated to Carolyn my beautiful crush at work

  89. K.... M....

    Very true

  90. C.... Z....

    This song hits home , my ex husband let his job be his wife and I was second best to his job and I grew cold and I left after he hit me but I want to be married not divorced

  91. C.... B....

    This is what I call music

  92. c.... r....

    Married for 25 years and I let it slip away, just glad my ex-wife was able to move on and find what I could not give her. I will always cherish the time we had together, life is fleeting and fickle, but it goes on!

  93. C.... ....

    She sure is...

  94. B.... ....

    why does this song remind me of baby blue by George Strait?

  95. A.... M....
