Be A Lady
I Don't Think This Is What Mom Had In Mind
Be a lady they said
and a smile crossed my lips
Here we go again
digging those digs
Accusations in red
made me wish they were dead
Be a lady they said
Be a lady
*
Be a lady they said
be polite and say please
Don't be misled or mislead
pacify and appease
Always look your best
be the best you can be
We can tell that you're "blessed"
Bend your will
and your knees
*
Be a lady they said
don't be so uptight
You've got the looks to turn heads
the right weight the right height
Be a lady, oh please
make them feel at ease
Tell me, which part of the lady
do you wish to see?
Be a lady they said
be a lady
*
