Lady
D'Angelo
Album: Brown Sugar
1-You're my lady, you're my lady
You're my lady, you're my lady
Don't think I don't see them looking at ya
All of them wishing they could have ya
And as a matter of fact, uh
A bunch of them are itching for you to scratch 'em
I'm tired of hiding what we feel
I'm trying to get with the real
And I'm-a gonna make it known 'cause I want them to know
(repeat 1)
You're my little baby, my darling baby
I swear you are the talk of the town
And everybody wants to know what's going down
Babe, I know they've seen us before
Maybe at the liquor store
Or maybe at the health food stand
They don't know that I'm your man
(rpt 1)
I can tell they're looking at us
I pick you up everyday from your job
And every guy in the parking lot
Wants to rob me of my girl, and my heart and soul
And everybody wants to treat me so cold
But I know I love you and you love me
There's no other lover for you or me
You're my lady
Bridge (Ad lib)
You're my lady, my divine lady
You're my lady, such a wonderful lady
I can tell they're looking at us
Repeat to fade
Source:A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
A world of violent rage
But it's one that I can recognise
Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped
To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name
Read my writing on the wall
No-one's here to catch me when I fall
Death is on my side....suicide!
A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
A world of violent rage
But it's one that I can recognise
Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped
To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name
Read my writing on the wall
No-one's here to catch me when I fall
Caught between my culture and the system....genocide!
Read my writing on the wall
No-one's here to catch me when I fall
If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face
Yeah!
If we don't take action now
We settle for nothing later
Settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later
If we don't take action now
We settle for nothing later
We'll settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later
If we don't take action now
We'll settle for nothing later
We settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later
If we don't take action now
We settle for nothing later
We'll settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later
