"Lady"
(Conner Reeves / Jonathan Shorten / Joss Stone)

[Intro:]
Hmm, hmm-mm, yeah
My, oh my, baby

My, oh my, how you're lookin' so fine and my lips can't say it
In my mind these lips are all over you
Sugar's sweet and I'm feeling the heat like melting chocolate
There's some things that a lady just cannot do

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
And I just can't let cha closer to my skin
And I just can't accept what you're offering
You're tryna lead me into hot water, you should know that
When I'm torn between two sides
And I know that it ain't right
My body's saying

[Chorus:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh, he-eh-eh, he-eh-eh
But I'm tryna keep my lady, ooh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh-huh, uh-huh, uh
But I'm tryna keep my lady, hey

Why, oh why, am I feeling like I'm on the edge of something
When I know that the door is already closed?
And why are you still here when I told you it'll come to nothing?
You're a naughty boy, seems like you just won't be told

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
And I just can't let cha do that thing
With your hands, I'll bet cha think you're in
Although you're, ooh-ooh, so fine, it's a sin
You got me tongue-tied, I'm stuttering
As long as my body's saying

[Chorus:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh, he-eh-eh, he-eh-eh
But I'm tryna keep my lady, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh-huh, uh-huh, uh
But I'm tryna keep my, my lady, ooh

[Bridge:]
I'd like to get down with it
I'd like to get hold of it
I'd like to get all over it
And baby, I admit
I could teach you a thing or two
Make all of your dreams come true
In ways that you never knew
But I gotta keep my lady!
I gotta keep my lady, ye-yeah
I gotta keep my lady
Mm, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-he-eh
I'm trying, baby
Hmm, to keep my lady

[Outro:]
See, it's okay to be sassy
But I'll never be trashy
It's okay to be nasty
But you gotta keep your classy now
Now don't get lazy
I've been thinking 'bout ya, baby
I'm a lady
And don't you forget it now!
I gotta keep my lady, ye-yeah, uh
I've been trying, baby
But my body just keeps on saying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-he-eh, ooh
I've been trying, baby
Tryna keep my lady
