Three Times A Lady

Commodores · Love Songs [2009]

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

And I love you



When we are together

The moments I cherish

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

I love you
