Lady
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My, oh my, how you're lookin' so fine
And my lips can't say it
In my mind these lips are all over you
Sugar sweet and I'm feeling the heat
Like melting chocolate.
There's some things that a lady just cannot do
And I just can't let'cha,
Get closer to my skin
And I just can't accept what
You're offering, you're tryin'
Leave me here, when I wanna, shouldn't or oughta
When I'm torn between two sides
And I know that it ain't right!
My body's saying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
But I'm tryin' to keep my lady, oooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah oh nuh-uh ohh uh!
But I'm trying to keep my lady eh!
Why, oh why, am I feeling like I'm
On the edge of something
When I know the door is already closed
And why are you still here when I told you it would come to nothing
You're a naughty boy
Seems like you just won't be told!
And I just can't let'cha,
Do that thing
With your hands, I'll bet'cha
Think you're in no no no you're
Oooh, so fine can't you see
You got me
Tongue-tied, I'm stuttering
All of my body's saying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
But I'm tryin' to keep my lady, oooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah oh nuh-uh ohh uh!
But I'm trying to keep my, my lady oooh
I'd like to get down with it!
I'd like to get hold of it!
I'd like to get all over it!
And baby I'll admit!
I could teach you a thing or two
Make all of your dreams come true
In ways that you never knew
But I got to keep my lady!
I've got to keep my lady!
I gotta keep my lady
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm trying, baby, oh, to keep my lady
It's OK to be sassy
But I'll never be trashy
It's OK to be nasty!
But you gotta keep your classy, nah!
Now don't get lazy
I've been thinking 'bout cha baby
I'm a lady
And don't you forget it now!
I gotta keep my lady!
I've been trying baby
But my body just keeps on saying
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah ahaha
I've been trying baby
Trying to keep my lady
