You?re so crude
But you?re so nice
A boy like you could use some advice

You?re so cruel
But you?re so sweet
The way you?re lookin?
When you?re lookin? at me

Well, I?m keeping my thoughts to myself
And with what I?m thinkin?
You know it?s just as well

I?m a lady
You can?t go messin? around with my heart
I?m a lady
Now you need love
Cause your sweet talk
Won?t do a thing for me
I prefer my man sugar free
I?m a lady

You?re standing too close to me
A sure sign of immaturity
Young man you shouldn?t be so bold
And exercise a little self-control

Uh, remember that we just met
You need to learn to walk
Before you jump ahead

I?m a lady
You can?t go messin? around with my heart
I?m a lady
And you?re attractive
But you don?t go saying things like that
You?re tryin? to make me forget
I?m a lady

You should have no regrets
Though you lost out on me
And when your friends ask you who you met
You can tell them that she
That she
Was a lady
I?m a lady

I?m keepin? my thoughts to myself
And with what I?m thinkin?
Yeah well maybe it?s just as well

Yeah
I?m a lady
I?m a lady

No your sweet talk won?t do a thing for me
I prefer my man sugar free
I?m a lady
Oh, yeah
