Lady
Commodores The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thanks for the times that you've given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something i must say out loud

You're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you, I love you

When we are together the moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you, to hold you
To feel you, to need you
There's nothing to keep us apart





You're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you, I love you

It's great when you get to share your favourite songs with another generation, younger and older. The best part is that the music we've shared always brings back fond memories.

My mom took me to see the Commodores and Lionel solo. I am thankful she taught us to be kind. She had soul in her spirit. ❤
