[Intro]
I'm in love with a girl I hate
She enjoys pointing out every bad thing about me
I'm in love with a critic and a skeptic
A traitor, I'd trade her in a second

[Verse 1]
She's a backseat driver, a drama provider
An instant update of the world
She's a first class liar, a constant forgetter
She's attractive, but bitter

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you scream enough to make her cry
To turn around, turn around?
Baby, don't return to me
If you think that I'm not worth your time

[Chorus]
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with

[Verse 2]
Take off your shoes, come in the room
And baby, let's try not to argue
Turn out the lights, turn on the radio
And how can we fight when I'm too busy loving you?
I'm too busy loving you, I'm too busy loving you
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you scream enough to make her cry
To turn around, turn around?
Baby, don't return to me
If you think that I'm not worth your time

[Chorus]
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with

[Bridge]
Here I am, there you go again, again
We will not ever be eighteen again, again

And I'm worn out of fighting
And every night, you leave crying
And I, I could use some time
Here I am, there you go again, again

So, here I am and I'm dying
And I'm waiting for you, waiting for you
Come back, come back to me
And I'll take you gladly, well, I'll take you any time
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you scream enough to make her cry
To turn around, turn around?
Baby, don't return to me
If you think that I'm not worth your time

Did you scream enough to make her cry
To turn around, turn around?
Baby, don't return to me
If you think that I'm not worth your time

[Chorus]
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with
She's a lady
And ladies shouldn't be messed with
