Three Times A Lady
Lionel Richie · The Definitive Collection
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud
You're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes you're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
I love you
When we are together, the moments I cherished
With every beat of my heart
To touch you, to hold you, to feel you, to need you
There's nothing to keep us apart
You're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
Yes you're once, twice, three times a lady
And I love you
I love you
