You came into my life like rain upon a barren desert
One smile and I was born again
I felt sure it wasn´t too late
I´d find strength to make me go straight
I had love, and threw it away
Why did they lead me astray
For last night in Soho I let my life go

I never told you of some things I´ve done I´m so ashamed of
I thought my foolish past was over and done
I´d proof I´d make a new start
I´d try with all of my heart
I had dreams and broke them in two
I´m just not worthy of you
For last night in Soho I let my life go

Well, hi there, kid, you ain´t been around for quite some little while
See you got yourself a real cute doll, you´re living life in style
But boy, don´t get above your station if you don´t want aggravation
Got a little job for you, this is what you gotta do, boy!

That´s how last night in Soho I let my life go

Don´t cry my baby, as they lead me where no love can help me
Don´t stay around to watch me go
Just forget there once was a time
You were proud to call yourself mine
I had love right here in my hand
Why could I not understand
For last night in Soho I let my life go
For last night in Soho I let my life go
