[Verse 1]
First time that I saw you, girl
I fell in love with you
You were the very first love in my life
A young kid at the time
I didn't know how to break through to you
To blend your heart and mine

[Pre-Chorus]
But now the years have passed and I'm a man
I couldn't get you then but now I understand that

[Chorus]
You were meant to be my lady, not my girl
You were meant to be my lady, not my girl

[Verse 2]
Saw you over there and didn't know that it was you
Until I felt the vibe (Felt the vibe)
'Cause you're the only one who ever aroused
This feeling in me, oh me oh my
My love for you is back

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm checking out the condition
I wanna kiss you, girl
Give me your permission
[Chorus]
You were meant to be my lady, not my girl
You were meant to be my lady (My lady), not my girl
You were meant to be my lady, not my girl
You were meant to be my lady, not my girl
You were meant to be my lady (You're my lady, baby), not my girl
You were meant to be my lady (You're my lady, my lady), not my girl
(My lady)

[Bridge]
You're my love
You were meant to be mine, hey-hey, oh

[Chorus]
You were meant to be my lady (But not my girl), not my girl
You were meant to be my lady (My lady, baby), not my girl
You were meant to be my lady (Oh, oh, oh)
You were meant to be my lady (My lady, my lady, my lady), not my girl

[Outro]
*chatter*
Everything is gonna be right
Everything gon' be right tonight
Say fellas, break it down
*chatter*
