Who's That Lady With My Man
Patricia Paay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's that lady with my man?

Who can she be?

Oh, with my man

What's she doing with my man?
What can he see?

Oh, my man

He wouldn't, she couldn't

He wouldn't, she shouldn't

Why should he do this to me?

I hate him for lying

I hate her for trying to steal my man from me

Don't do it, don't do it, don't take this other lover

How could you, how could you, how could you love another?

Don't do it, don't do it

I love you, I love you

Tonight, we'll be fine

I'll be yours, you'll be mine tonight

Oh tonight

I'll be your lover, oh tonight

What's the matter with my man?

What can it be?

Oh with my man

I've done everything I can

What's wrong with me?

Oh, my man

He wouldn't, she couldn't

He wouldn't, she shouldn't

Why should he do this to me?

I hate him for lying

I hate her for trying to steal my man from me

Don't do it, don't do it, don't take this other lover

How could you, how could you, how could you love another?

Don't do it, don't do it

I love you, I love you

Tonight, we'll be fine

I'll be yours, you'll be mine tonight

Oh tonight





I'll be your lover, oh tonight

Mooie vrouw en kan ook serieus goed zingen, niet alleen solo maar ook als back up vocals van diverse hits. Zeer ondergewaardeerde talentvolle dame waar we heel trots op zouden moeten zijn β€οΈπŸ™

Add a dress that tears in half and you have the perfect Eurovision entry with this song!
