Sweet Lady
Queen(퀸) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You call me up and treat me like a dog
You call me up and tear me up inside
You've got me on a lead
Oh, you bring me down
You shout around
You don't believe that I'm alone
Oh, you don't believe me
Sweet lady
Sweet lady
Sweet lady sweet lady oh, stay sweet
You say
You call me up and feed me all the lines
You call me sweet like I'm some kind of cheese
Waiting on the shelf
You eat me up
You hold me down
I'm just a fool to make you a home
Oh, you really do me
When you say
Sweet lady (sweet lady)
Sweet lady (sweet lady)
Sweet lady oh, come on, stay sweet
My sweet lady
Though it seems like we wait forever oh ah oh
Stay sweet baby
Believe and we've got everything we need
(Got everything we need)
Sweet lady
Sweet lady
Sweet lady oh, oh, stay sweet, stay sweet
Oh runaway, come on, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, sweet lady
Woo
The lyrics of Queen's Sweet Lady express the complicated relationship between the singer and their partner. The singer is simultaneously drawn to and frustrated by their lover, who treats them poorly and makes them feel like they are on a leash. The lyrics are filled with contradictory emotions: the singer is angry at the way their partner treats them, but they also express a desire for the partner to stay "sweet", implying that they want to continue the relationship. The line "you call me sweet like I'm some kind of cheese waiting on the shelf" suggests that the relationship is based on superficial compliments rather than genuine affection. The singer is aware of the negative aspects of the relationship, but they seem powerless to break free from it.
Overall, the lyrics of Sweet Lady are a nuanced exploration of the complexities of romantic relationships. The song explores the conflict between desire and frustration, and the tension between love and resentment. The singer is trapped in a relationship that is both sweet and bitter, and it is unclear whether they will be able to break free from it.
