lyrics

Be a Lady

Verse 1.
She feels pretty, in her blue jeans
the boys are staring, but she don't mind
her momma told, when she was younger
to get a husband you must cook and clean
wear pretty things and always smell nice

Chorus
be a lady, be a lady, be a lady
you can't hang with the guys

Verse 2.
she loves science, but thats not attractive
so she fails her test and pretends like its cool
for a hobby, she fixes cars with her daddy
but when the boys come round she dumbs it down
pretends like she don't know what to do

Chorus
Be a lady, Be a Lady, be a Lady
you can't do what boys do

Verse 3.
Billy, think she's pretty
he says sweet things, like you got a nice rack
so she dates him, she doesn't hate him
I mean he's got a job can pay her bills no fairytail
reality check

Chorus
Be a lady, be a lady, be a lady
you gotta kiss him back, kiss him back
be a ady, kiss him back
be a lady , don't treat him like that
be a lady

Bridge
I wear lipstick yes i do
I love short skirts how bout you?
I wear tons and tons of perfume
I'm a lady
what's the point in a degree
all i need is to smile and to look pretty
be his damsel in distress he can come save me
I'm a lady
to be a lady you must learn to be seen and not heard
to be a lady mustn't gorge yourself ea like a bird
to be a lady you must cook an clean wear pretty things
and always always always always smell nice.
