Lady
T.Rex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna give all my love to you
Lady, like a like a lady like a like a
I'm gonna dance till the rain for you
Got you feeling, mama
Got the feeling, mama
Got to dream about it, yeah, yeah
Shaking, my bones are aching
Baby, like a like a baby like a like a
I'm gonna give my pain to you
The lyrics to T.Rex's "Lady" are fairly straightforward, consisting primarily of the singer declaring his love and devotion for his significant other. He likens his lover to a lady, using repetition to emphasize his affection: "like a like a lady like a like a." He vows to give all his love to her and dance for her even in the rain. The second verse introduces a bit of physical discomfort, with the singer's bones aching, but he persists in his dedication to his lover, promising to give his pain to her like a baby would.
While the lyrics themselves may seem simplistic, Marc Bolan's delivery perfectly captures the passion and intensity of the emotions at play. His voice rises and falls with the music, building to a fever pitch in the chorus as he proclaims his love. The repetition of the "like a like a" also serves to impart a sense of urgency to the lyrics, as if the singer cannot find enough words to express how strongly he feels.
Overall, "Lady" is a prime example of T.Rex's signature glam rock sound, blending catchy melodies with larger-than-life lyrics and lively instrumentation. It is a testament to Bolan's ability to infuse even the simplest of phrases with a sense of grandeur and drama, turning a simple ode to love into a powerful anthem.

6 years late with my reply but hey ho. My Mum brought this home from The Webbington hotel where she worked (near Weston Super Mare) they would give her the records from the jukebox. I loved this track, and Thunderwing. Some of his B-Sides remain in my all time favorites
