She's a Lady
Forever The Sickest Kids · Underdog Alma Mater [2009]
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
