She had a long line of lovers 
Mostly the gambling kind 
I didn't want to be like the others 
And get left behind 
I heard about her bad reputation 
And how she had a heart of stone 
How she'd give a man 
A moment of pleasure 
To get what she want. 

I had a weakness for her kind of woman 
I could never deny 
I knew I would never see it coming 
Until I was lost in her eyes 
The more I tried to keep her at a distance 
The more I became aware 
She was breaking down my resistance 
Till I no longer cared. 

Tonight I saw the red red rose 
In a yellow moon 
Shining on a silhouette 
Lying in the shadows of my bedroom 
I knew it when we made love 
And I couldn't quit calling her name 
And I've been hit by another fast movin' train 
I've been hit by another fast movin' train. 

I wondered as I lay there and held her 
Why can't this be real? 
Why the fear wouldn't let me tell her 
How could she make me feel 
I doubt it if she would even be around 
When the moment comes 
I waited till she fell asleep 
To whisper 
Baby, look what you've done. 

Tonight I saw the red red rose 
In a yellow moon 
Shining on a silhouette 
Lying in the shadows of my bedroom 
I knew it when we made love 
And I couldn't quit calling her name 
And I've been hit by another fast movin' train 

Tonight I saw the red red rose 
In a yellow moon 
Shining on a silhouette 
Lying in the shadows of my bedroom 
I knew it when we made love 
And I couldn't quit calling her name 
And I've been hit by another fast movin' train 
I've been hit by another fast movin' train.
