Lady
Jones Jack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lady, you're in love today but what about your broken heart tomorrow?
Why waste all your loveliness on someone if he really doesn't care?
Let me take you in my arms and let me love you tenderly, and you'll see.
All the joys of life you never found before you'll find with me.
Lady, take my love today and let me give you happiness forever.
Ev'ry day you wait, a little love we could be sharing slips away.
Why find out too late that what you thought was love was just a brief fantasy?
I'm in love with you, so lovely lady, won't you fall in love with me.

Lady is a love ballad that tells the story of a man who is in love with a woman who may not know or accept his feelings. The lyrics are straightforward and convey the message of the song in a simple yet powerful way.

Line by Line Meaning

You may be infatuated today, but what will happen to your heart if this love ends tomorrow?

Why waste all your loveliness on someone if he really doesn't care?
What's the point of giving all of yourself to someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings?

Let me take you in my arms and let me love you tenderly, and you'll see.
If you give me a chance to love you, I promise to do it gently and show you what true love feels like.

All the joys of life you never found before you'll find with me.
I can offer you happiness and experiences that you've never had before.

Lady, take my love today and let me give you happiness forever.
Please accept my love now, and I promise to bring you happiness that lasts a lifetime.

Ev'ry day you wait, a little love we could be sharing slips away.
If you keep waiting, the opportunity for us to share our love grows smaller every day.

Why find out too late that what you thought was love was just a brief fantasy?
Don't wait until it's too late to realize that the love you thought was real was just an illusion.

I'm in love with you, so lovely lady, won't you fall in love with me.
I have fallen for you, beautiful lady, and I'm asking if you can do the same for me.

LOVE JACK JONES, my favorite singer of all times. He is not only a very handsome man, but his voice is exquisite to listen to. I can’t believe he is already 84 years old and still good looking and singing. Good for him, he is just marvelous. And this song “Lady” is a very pretty, lovely song, I like it a lot. The music and lyrics are beautiful. God bless him always with health and a very long life. ♥️😘🥰👏👏😍👍🙏

My parents had a little radio in the kitchen nestled on the dish draining rack, and I always remember hearing this in the morn as a little kid, it seemed to always calm my crazy dysfunctional home down when it aired.

I was fortunate enough to see and hear Jack sing this...at the Century Plaza. I was dating a beautiful dancer...I'd only arrived in L.A. 3 months before...and we got to dance to this as Jack sang... He sang it just as well as you hear it here... Before he sang it...he said: This one goes out to all the lovely Ladies here tonight...and feel free to bring your Lady out on the dance floor for this one... It was as though you had ...stepped into a movie....I'll never forget it!.. It has always been my favorite song by Jack...and NO ONE can touch him on this!... I also wrote about that night in a novel I wrote!... :)

I can almost imagine if my Dad could have written and sung a song to my Mom, it would have been this one. I believe it embodied the way he must have felt about her. They were only married a couple of years when it was released. Their romance was so beautiful and sweet.

@gaydarON

Anyway everything in the song came true....they were married and together 47 years, until the end of their lives.

Something very interesting about jack. When he died out for a while, he went to france and studied with the vocal masters and Charles anizaviour. He came back with a much deeper voice and did some albums that got him rave reviews and he was considered a vocal master.

This 'HAS TO BE' Jack's (greatest) song.

@JFGecik

That is a matter of opinion, and I have to say that I do not share your opinion! Yes, "Lady," is a very nice song, but I see several others (on his "Greatest Hits" album) that I like even better. Here is the list of tracks: 1. Lollipops and Roses, 2. Wives and Lovers, 3. Call Me Irresponsible, 4. A Lot of Livin' to Do, 5. Real Live Girl, 6. Love With the Proper Stranger, 7. She Loves Me, 8. You're My Girl, 9. The Race Is On, 10. And I Love Her, 11. Dear Heart, 12. I Can't Believe I'm Losing You, 13. You're Sensational, 14. My Best Girl, 15. A Day in the Life of a Fool, 16. Alfie, 17. Lady, 18. The Impossible Dream. [More than "Lady," I like #2, #3, #15, #16, and #18.]

@kodijames6277

J. F. Gecik You probably like CHECKERS 'fries'...as well.

@JFGecik

8y↑1

I have no idea what "CHECKERS 'fries'" are ... but that does not matter. As I stated at the beginning of my previous note, we are talking about a "matter of opinion." We have differing opinions, and I tried to show you (and remind other readers here) that there may be other Jones songs that may be more special than "Lady." You needed to accept my opinion and argumentation like a real man, but you seem to be trying to insult me -- even though I did not try to insult you. Please try to be a better man by not insulting innocent parties.

@kodijames6277

+J. F. Gecik My goodness...what a sensitive little "girly boy" YOU ARE!

@JFGecik

8y↑2

Once again you show that you are a person of low character and intelligence. Instead of apologizing or presenting genuine reasons for disagreeing with me, you simply resort to an asinine, childish, meaningless insult. Maybe some day you will grow up and become a mature human being. Let's hope so! I will pray for you.
