   Lady writer  on the TV
   Talk about  the virgin mary
   Reminded me  of you
   Expectation left  a come  on too
 Lady writer on the TV
 She had another quality
 The way you used to look
 And I know you never read a book
   Just the way that her hair fell down around  her face
   And I recall my fall  from grace
 
 
   Another time another place
 Lady writer on the TV
 She had all her brains and the beauty
 The pictures does not fit
 You'd talk to me when you felt like this
 Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
 And I recall my fall from grace
 Another time another place
   Your rich old man,
   You know he'd a call her a dead wringer
   You got the same command
   Plus your mother was a mess in life
 
 
   etc
 Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
 And I recall my fall from grace
 Another time another place
 Lady writer on the TV
 She knew all about history
 You couldn't hardly write your name
 I think I want it just the same
 Lady writer on the TV
 Talking about the virgin mary
 You know I'm talking about you and me
 Lady writer on the TV
