Intro

Verse 1

How many boys, one night stands

How many lips, how many hands have held you

Like I'm holding you tonight

Verse 2

Too many nights staying up late

Too much powder, too much paint. Oh you can't hide

from the turning of the tide

Chorus 1

Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress

Did they find some tender moment there in your caress?

Verse 3

Boys all say you look so fine

Don't come back for a second time. You can't hide

from the turning of the tide

Solo

Chorus 2

Poor little sailor boy, never set eyes on a woman before

Did he tell you that he'd love you, darling, for ever more?

Verse 4

Pretty little shoes, cheap perfume

Creaking bed in the hotel room You can't hide

from the turning of the tide

Chorus 3

Did they run their fingers up and down your shabby dress

Did they find some tender moment there in your caress?

Verse 5

Boys all say you look so fine

Don't come back for a second time. You can't hide

from the turning of the tide

Solo
