Lucy
Lionel Richie/The Commodores Lyrics

Hey Lucy why don't you come and settle down
Lionel Richie is inviting Lucy to leave her wild lifestyle and be in a committed relationship

I hear you're the baddest girl this side of town
Lucy has a reputation for being wild and adventurous

Got a little money that I wanna spend
Lionel Richie intends to use his financial resources to woo Lucy

If you'll be my friend
Lionel Richie hopes to establish a friendship with Lucy before pursuing a romantic relationship

For just a little while
Lionel Richie is unsure of how long Lucy will be willing to stay in a committed relationship

First summer you sailed on down to New Orleans
Lucy has a history of traveling and exploring new places

I was a victor, you were a Cajun queen
Lionel Richie was drawn to Lucy's charm and charisma

You had many fellas with lots of style
Lucy was popular with men and had many suitors

And you drove them wild
Lucy had a magnetic personality and was able to captivate those around her

Oh little Lucy I had to be with you
Lionel Richie was smitten with Lucy and felt compelled to pursue a relationship with her

Traveled around the country
Lionel Richie has had many life experiences and traveled extensively

Oh and I made my way
Lionel Richie has worked hard to establish himself and be successful

I never once forgot what I felt that day
The initial attraction Lionel Richie felt for Lucy has stayed with him throughout his life

Now I think I'm ready to play my hand
Lionel Richie is ready to pursue a relationship with Lucy and take a chance on love

I wanna be your man which is hard to do
Lionel Richie acknowledges that winning Lucy's heart will be challenging

Oh Lucy I'm so in love with you
Lionel Richie deeply loves and cares for Lucy

I've been a wandering man for such a long time
Lionel Richie has led a restless and unfulfilled life before meeting Lucy

Now I know just where I'm going
Lionel Richie has found direction in his life since meeting Lucy

Oh how I need you to stand by my side
Lionel Richie wants Lucy to support him and be his partner in life

Don't you go away
Lionel Richie is afraid of losing Lucy and wants her to stay with him

Cause I'm so in love with you
Lionel Richie loves and cares for Lucy deeply

I've been searchin' for you Lucy for such a long time
Lionel Richie has been looking for a person like Lucy all his life

Now I wanna let you know what I have on my mind
Lionel Richie wants to express his feelings and intentions to Lucy

You've been around a lonely man
Lionel Richie has led a lonely life before meeting Lucy

I've been a lonely man
Lionel Richie has been alone and unfulfilled before meeting Lucy

Lucy
Lionel Richie is addressing Lucy and expressing his love for her

I don't want to live my life without you
Lionel Richie cannot imagine his life without Lucy

There were times when I tried to get you off my mind girl
Lionel Richie has tried to move on from his feelings for Lucy but cannot

You're the girl of my dreams
Lucy is the person who Lionel Richie has always dreamed of being with

Ahh my Lucy
Lionel Richie is expressing his love and affection for Lucy

So many lonely nights I need you girl
Lionel Richie has spent many nights alone and longs for companionship with Lucy

Ahh my Lucy
Lionel Richie is expressing his love and affection for Lucy
