Detriment Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

Love in her eyes, blood in her lips 

She had somethin' very special I miss 

No-one before her, nobody since 

How could one girl have such looks and good sense? 

What she always went to say 

Well I knew what she meant 

But she never meant to stay 

To my detriment. 

Somethin' about her, nothing to fear 

I was confidence itself with her near 

So lovely, So delicate 

She straightened me when I got mixed up. 

God almighty why'd you take her from me? 

Well it makes no sense 

She was everything I wanted to be 

It's to your detriment. 

INSTRUMENTAL 

Love in her eyes, blood in her lips 

She had somethin' very special I miss 

No-one before her, nobody since 

How much longer must I wait in suspense? 

What she always went to say 

Well I knew what she meant 

But she never meant to stay 

To my detriment 

To my detriment 

To my detriment.
