Lady Lady
Giorgio Moroder feat. Joe Esposito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not the only one
Running like the wind
Thoughts can come undone
Dancing behind masks
Just sort of pantomime
But images reveal
Lady, lady, lady, lady
Don't walk this lonely avenue
Lady, lady, lady, lady
Let me touch that part of you
You want me to
Lady, lady, lady, lady
I know it's in your heart to stay
Lady, lady, lady, lady
When will I ever hear you say
I love you
Time like silent stares
With no apology
Move towards the stars
And be my only one
Reach into the light
And feel love's gravity
That pulls you to my side
Where you should always be
Lady, lady, lady, lady
Don't walk this lonely avenue
Lady, lady, lady, lady
Let me touch that part of you
You want me to
Lady, lady, lady, lady
I know it's in your heart to stay
Lady, lady, lady, lady
The lyrics of Giorgio Moroder & Joe Esposito's song Lady Lady are about a person who is frightened by a dream and feels lonely despite not being the only one in this feeling. The person is running like the wind, and their thoughts can come undone. Dancing behind masks, they barely express themselves truly, but their images reveal whatever lonely hearts can hide. The person addresses the lady, asking her not to walk alone, and let the singer touch the concealed part of her that she wants to reveal. The person feels that the lady is meant to stay, and he patiently waits for her to say "I love you."
The song depicts an individual who feels lost and trapped inside their thoughts and dreams. They are afraid of opening up and being vulnerable, illustrated by the masks and pantomime. They yearn for a deeper connection, symbolized by gravity pulling the lady to the singer's side. The song conveys the desire for love and companionship in a world where people can feel isolated and alone despite the number of individuals around. It speaks to the hope that the right person is out there, and the patience required to wait for that person to arrive.
