She's A Lady


N.B. Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings


Are you trying to put me on?
I turned around and it was gone.
Did I leave it in your car?
On a table in a bar?
Or in your bed between the sheets?
The places where we used to meet.
Wherever love has gone I need to know.

'Cos she's a woman,
Oh yeah baby, she's a woman.
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma she'a a lady.
And I just love the way she moves,
The way she moves, watch her.

When you left
I didn't know how I was going to forget you.
I was hanging by a thread and then I met her.
Selling pictures of herself to German business men.
Well, that's all she wants to do.
Come on, come on,
I don't want to try too hard.
I don't want to wait too long.
I don't want to live alone
With all this crap that pulls me down.
Oh, tell me now, how would it feel
If I could touch you once again.
Where have you gone, where have you gone?
The moon has gone down on the sun, Oh yeah.
I know that you're coming home.
You wouldn't leave me on my own.
Everybody can't you see,
She's coming back to me.

Whilst you were gone I got along.
I didn't die, I carried on
I went out drinking every night
Just so I could feel alright.
Stayed in bed all day to feel OK.
I felt OK.
Oh, I felt sick and tired, yes I did.
She lived at her father's place,
Played his records though they jumped.
Wore her body back to front.
I tried to make it work,
Kissed her where she said it hurt
But I was always underneath.

'Cos she's a woman,
Oh yeah baby, she's a woman.
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma she'a a lady.
And I just love the way she moves,
The way she moves, watch her.

I don't know why you pretend
That it causes you pain,
When you know very well
You're going to do it again.
You're going to do it again
And again and again
You keep me going all night long

I know it's going to happen.
It might not be today.
It might not be tomorrow
Or even the day after
But some time soon,
You're going to see,
You're going to come back to me.

Whilst you were gone...
Whilst you were gone I got along.
I didn't die,
I carried on.
Oh yeah I went with other women,
What else can I say?
I guess I kind of missed you
Whilst you were away.
Whilst you were gone.
