Lyrics
He doesn’t know that I can’t look him in the eyes
Or that I can’t speak or I’ll start tellin’ lies
I hope he thinks that I’m just moody and quiet
But another man loved me last night
Yes, another man loved me last night
I’d almost forgotten what love was really like
But I’m only human, only a woman
I let another man love me last night
While he’s sleepin’, well, I’m cryin’ here awake
Not being loved was more than I could take
Though it was wrong there, in his arms it seemed so right
When another man loved me last night
Yes, another man loved me last night
I’d almost forgotten what love was really like
But I’m only human, only a woman
I let another man love me last night
