Lady’s Song
[Intro]
I wrote this song for a very special lady friend of mine
Who was separated from her man as often our ladies are
This song was about the love that I feel for her
And the respect I feel for the way she has faced her life
And it's challenges
[Verse 1]
To say any words you ain't feeling
Well that don't seem to be what she needs
She's been hurt a lot
Hurt and put down a lot
But she don't really need your sympathy
[Verse 2]
'Cause her touch is soft and her eyes are smiling
Though small time people try and put her down
She ain't done nobody wrong
Lovе she has is gonna keep her strong
It feels like long aftеr love has abandoned you and me
[Verse 3]
And you may see her running to work in the morning
Remember there's a whole lot on her mind
If you've got nothing hip to say
Why not let her go on her way?
'Cause brother, everybody just ain't got the time
Got the time, got the time
