She's a Lady

Forever The Sickest Kids · Underdog Alma Mater [2009]

I'm in love with a girl I hate

She enjoys pointing out every bad thing about me

I'm in love with a critic and a skeptic

A traitor, I'd trade her in a second



She's a backseat driver

A drama provider an instant update of the world

Shes a first class liar a constant forgetter

(she's attractive but bitter)



Did you scream enough to make her cry

If you turn around, turn around, baby don't return to me

If you think that I'm not worth your time

She's a lady

And ladies shouldn't be messed with

She's a lady

And ladies shouldn't be messed with



Take off your shoes

Come in the room

And baby let's try not to argue

Turn out the lights

Turn on the radio

How can we fight when I'm too busy loving you

I'm too busy loving you

I'm too busy loving you



Did you scream enough to make her cry

If you turn around turn around baby don't return to me

If you think that I'm not worth your time

She's a lady

And ladies shouldn't be messed with

She's a lady

And ladies shouldn't be messed with



Here I am

There you go again, again

And we will not ever be eighteen again, again



And I'm worn out of fighting

And every night you leave crying

And I could use some time

And here I am

There you go again (again)



So here I am and I'm dying

And I'm waiting for you, waiting for you

Come back, come back to me

And I'll take you gladly

And I'll take you in again



Did you scream enough to make her cry

If you turn around turn around baby don't return to me

If you think that I'm not worth your time



Did you scream enough to make her cry

If you turn around turn around baby don't return to me

If you think that I'm not worth your time

She's a lady

And ladies shouldn't be messed with

Shes a lady

And ladies shouldn't be messed with
