Lady You Are
Al Hudson & One Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're still so nice
Not like all the others I've been around
Who love to fuss and fight
You've changed in no way
You're always at your best
I love your style, your personality
You're so considerate when it comes to me
I'm so glad to have you
So splendid you are to me
I love your everything
‘Cause you're a lady (Lady)
Lady you are
You're a lady (Lady)
And I'm so proud of you
You're so sweet and innocent
In all the things you do
Not to mention your lovely smile
So plentiful and true
You've changed in no way
You're always at your best
I guess that's why I really love you
You try so hard for me
Multitude, self gratitude
You deserve in every way (Oh, oh)
Astonishing you are to me
I love your everything
‘Cause you're a lady (Lady)
Lady you are
You're a lady (Lady)
And I'm so proud of you
Lady, lady
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You're a lady (Lady)
Lady you are
You're my lady (Lady)
And I'm so proud of you
I wouldn't know what to do with myself (Lady)

I love the way you carry yourself (Lady)

I heard this song the first time after I lost a State high, jumping track meet in Nashville Tennessee, which was in 1984. This song has been a motivating force for me for the past 39 years. Even at 56 years of age, I still listen to it to get motivation and to bring back memories of the good old days of the 80s. One of my favorite R&B songs of all time.
