Lady
D’Angelo Lyrics

You're my lady
The person addressed is a special person (likely a significant other), and they hold a position of great importance in the singer's life.

Don't think I don't see them looking atcha
The singer is aware that other people are paying attention to the addressed person and seem to be interested in them.

All of them wishing they could have ya
Many people seem to desire the addressed person and feel jealous of the singer's relationship with them.

And as a matter of fact A bunch of them are itchin' for you to scratch them
The addressed person has many admirers, but the artist is confident that they are not interested in anyone else.

I'm tired of hiding what we feel
The artist wants to express their feelings for the addressed person openly and honestly.

I'm tryin to come with the real And I'ma gonna make it known Cause I wan't them to know
The singer wants to be honest about their relationship with the addressed person and let other people know about it.

You're my little baby My darling baby
The singer is affectionately addressing the person they are singing to.

I swear you're the talk of the town And everybody want's to know what's going down
The addressed person is the subject of gossip and speculation among the people around them.

Babe I know they've seen us before maybe at the liquor store or maybe at the health food stand But they don't know that I'm your man

I can tell them looking at us

I pick you up everyday From your job

And every guy at the parking lot want's to rob me of my girl And my heart and soul Ang everybody want's to treat me so cold

But I know I love you and you love me There's no other love for you or me You're my lady
