Lady
David Anthony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the truth
If you told me last year I'd be laid up like this man
I would have never believed you
Things are a lot different

Seems like it was just a year ago
I was talking sleek about girls
About the little things they do to just piss me off, oh yeah
I was better off alone

I became numb and insensitive
Started being bitter and cold
Tuning in and listening to pimps on the radio and you know
It started making sense to me

But that's when I met my lady
Woman came and changed the game
Happy that I found my lady
And my life would never be the same, oh yeah

Wasn't even looking to fall in love
Was the last thing on my mind
Didn't see it coming till it already had me down
Struck me blind

I was on the verge of being through with the pain
Didn't see a reason to try
Couldn't understand what all these fools kept singing about
'Till I became one of them

When I became your lady
Everything started to change
Happy I became your lady
Life can never be the same

That's when I found my lady
And I've changed the way I think of things
Happy that I found, happy that I found




Nothing in the world can change the way I feel about you baby
Feel so good baby, don't you ever go away

Overall Meaning

The song "Lady" by David Anthony is a heartfelt tribute to the transformative power of love. The opening lines introduce the theme of change, as the singer reflects on his earlier disbelief that he could ever end up laid up with a lady. It's clear that something momentous has happened to him, and he proceeds to contrast his previous attitudes towards women with his newfound appreciation for his lady.


The first verse paints a picture of a man who was once disillusioned with relationships, who saw women as petty and annoying. His disillusionment led him to embrace the cynical worldview of the pimps on the radio. But then he met "his lady," and everything changed. The second verse adds more detail to this story. It seems that the singer wasn't even looking for love; he was on the verge of giving up on relationships entirely. But then "she" came into his life, and he was struck "blind" by the power of her love.


The chorus is the emotional heart of the song, repeating the idea that finding his lady has transformed his life in every way. He acknowledges that nothing in the world could change the way he feels about her, and the song ends on a joyful note.


All in all, "Lady" is a simple but effective celebration of the power of love to transform even the most cynical hearts. It's a reminder that sometimes the most unexpected things can happen when we open ourselves up to the possibility of connection.

I was caught off-guard and did not realize I had fallen in love until it was too late


Struck me blind
Falling in love was overwhelming and all-consuming


I was on the verge of being through with the pain
I was almost giving up on love because the past experiences had left me hurt


Didn't see a reason to try
I did not see any good reason to pursue love again


Couldn't understand what all these fools kept singing about
I did not understand why people were so obsessed with love and relationships

Until I fell in love and joined the group of people who cherish love

Everything started to change
My attitude, beliefs, and actions concerning love shifted substantially after meeting my lady


That's when I found my lady
Meeting my lady was when I discovered true love


And I've changed the way I think of things
My lady has had a significant positive effect on my morals, values, and way of life


Happy that I found, happy that I found
I am delighted and grateful that I found true love with my lady


Nothing in the world can change the way I feel about you baby
My love for my lady is steadfast and unshakeable


Feel so good baby, don't you ever go away
Being in love feels beautiful and satisfying, and I don't want my lady to leave me

My god this brother is underrated his voice is unmatched. I've only heard a few of his songs on the radio. But never heard anymore I was wondering what else he could do. He's gaining a big fan in me he's amazing I sure hope he can make more music we need him back asap😍👏🔥💯

WILL SMITH

He is more of a producer arranger and studio artist. I agree he is vastly underrated in the R&B genre. If you listen to the beginning music from India Irie you'll hear him on her tracks

Dee Murph

2008. Richmond, Virginia. I had a great night in Shockoe Bottom and ended up spending the night with two great ladies. At one point during that night I sat back to take a break and this song came over the radio. Real smooth and cool. Im telling you men it was a great night. That memory led me to find this song based off the first few lyrics. 13 years later. Wow.
