Roy Orbison - Harlem Woman Lyrics
Written by orbison/melsonThe woman is out on her own.Walking the streets, sad and alone.Yes she sells herself for nickles and dimes.These are hard times for a harlem woman.Harlem woman.Yes you work at night.i have held you tight.But youre not aware of how much I care.No you cant see your babys been hungry and cold.So long nights through, go on and do what you must do,I love you.i love you harlem woman.Harlem woman.Sometimes I cry, but Ill get by till your mine alone.So carry on to other arms,tender but strong.Till you belong to meHarlem woman hang on.Ill take you away.Someday Ill set you free to be with only me.Till then Ill know,...Lord knows, Ill knowThey can buy the bodyBut not the soul of my harlem womanHarlem woman, harlem womanHang on
