If Love Is a Red Dress

My heart is empty
Your eyes are dull
Once we were hungry
Now we are full
These chains that bind us
Can't beat these chains
If love is shelter
I'm gonna walk in the rain

You were my angel
Now, you are real
So like a stranger
Colder than steel
The morning after
You know what you bring
If love is a red dress
Well, hang me in rags

Away
There goes the fairy tale
Lord, ain't it a shame?
In all this comfort
I can't take the strain

If we played even
I'd be your queen
But someone was cheatin'
And it wasn't me
I've laid it on the table
You held something back
If love is aces
Give me the jack
