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 the good times too

Now I'm left with all the woes
I'm not the only sorry one
Just ask a woman who knows
The days are long

Oh, but the nights are longer
I got the lonesomest blues
You know my only consolation
Is I ain't got nothing more to lose
So there you have the story
Of a love gone wrong

That used to blossom like a rose
Oh, I'm not the only broken heart
Just ask a woman who knows

[Instrumental Interlude]
Well my only consolation
Is that 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
Oh, yeah
Ask a woman, ask a woman
And I'm a woman
Who knows
