She was young and she was pretty And she met him in the city And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she'd hit it lucky He owned half of Kentucky and best of all He was a sixty year old man
She let him think he'd caught her She led him to the alter Totin' seven carats on her hand
All dressed up in satin Oh, the good Lord wasted that one But she knew she'd be the winner in the end
'Cause she only meant to use him She only meant to use him And she didn't care if what she did was wrong
She only meant to use him And she knew what she was doin' In a few years she'd be rich and he'd be gone
In their million dollar palace The man grew old and jealous And he never let her leave the house alone
She was in her prime and holdin' She knew that he was old And chances were he wouldn't be around that long
As the days and nights grew longer The greed in her grew stronger And it even crossed her mind to take his life
But he found out he'd been taken And his pride was badly shaken And he knew she never meant to be a wife
And she only meant to use him She only meant to use him But she knew just what she wanted in the end
She only meant to use him But he knew what she was doin' And he swore she'd never have a dime to spend
Tormented by frustration She watched her beauty wastin' As the lines upon her face began to show
She turned to heavy drinkin' 'Cause her ship was slowly sinkin' And the bottle was the only place to go
Now 20 odd years later The headlines in the paper Said they laid her soul to rest at 53
And when they wheeled him to her coffin He took her diamond off And he just smiled and finally died at 93
Yes, she only meant to use him Lord knows she meant to use him But she died with seven carats on her hand
All dressed up in satin Oh, the good Lord wasted that one But her husband died a satisfied old man
Yes, she was young and she was pretty And she met him in the city And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she'd hit it lucky He owned half of Kentucky and best of all He was a sixty year old manTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
