Freda Payne - Band of gold lyrics :wtf:

[concise]

You took me from the shelter of a mother I had never known
Who loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms

I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon that you'll walk
Back through that door
And love me like you tried before

She didn't really want to sing the song, so they edited out some of the original lyrics to add ambiguity.

Orginal concept wasn't released until 2001.

Holland-Dozier-Holland convinced Freda to move from straight jazz into a more popular vein. "The first song they handed me was 'Band of Gold,'" she recalled, "and my initial reaction to it was 'What?' Lines like 'we stayed in separate rooms' made me think that this song was for a seventeen-year-old. She's copping out, doesn't understand her own womanhood and is really frigid, you know. So I said, 'Hey, I'm not frigid. Why should I sing about somebody who is?' They explained to me that the idea was to get the feeling over, and sell the song.
