[ Featuring Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday ]
He stays out every night
And leaves me all alone
He never tells me where he goes
I'm not the only lonely one
Just ask a woman who knows
We used to share our troubles
And our good times too
But now I'm left with all the woes
I'm not the only sorry one
Lord, just ask a woman who knows
The days are long
The nights are longer
I've got the lonesomest blues
You know my only consolation
Is I ain't got nothing more to lose
So there you've got the story
Of a love gone wrong
That used to blossom like a rose
I'm not the only broken heart
Mmm, ask a woman who knows
Well my only consolation
Is I got nothing more to lose
So there you have the story
Of a love gone wrong
That used to blossom like a rose
But I'm not the only broken heart
Just ask a woman
And I'm a woman
Just ask a woman who knows
