Oriental Lady

Oh, my oriental lady
You're as pretty as it's possible to be
Looking in your eyes, I find pardise
Smiling bright and shiny smiles at me.
Once I lived alone and liked it.
I was happy but my life was incomplete.
Then your heart so true
Told me what to do.
Now all of our bitterness is sweet.
Oh, my oriental lady
One good half is all that anyone can be.
Standing soul to soul
We can make a whole
And begin to be what we should be.
