lyrics

Born at the age of 3
Never got a chance to be
Anything but a lady
Don't you dare call her "baby"

Favorite drink's her cherry coke
Likes it when the bubbles tickle
All up in her nose
She won't drink it at the table
Won't drink it at the shows
But Lady says she loves it
And what Lady says just goes

Lady ain't no baby and she knows just what this is
Hours on the balcony just staring down at his
Lady's planning moves out from the playbook in her mind
Lady's doing great, yeah I hear
Lady's doing fine

Picked up her last paycheck
Rent was three months late
Lady bought a crowbar and just
Let herself in through the gate

She fed the landlord's pitbull
And locked him in his crate
Then Lady kept on walking
And that's what sealed her fate

Lady ain't no baby and she knows just where this leads
Hiking up her too-short skirt and puking in the weeds
Lady's going crazy but the doctor says she's fine
Lady's in some trouble now, yeah
Lady's doing time

Years have gone by crawling
Lady's on the mend
Husband after husband
But not a single friend
Lady says she's happy
She'll say so 'til the end

Lady ain't no baby and she's heard it all before
"You need this" and "You should that." Can't take it anymore
Lady's missed appointments and she's falling far behind
Lady won't pick up the phone and
Lady's on my mind
Lady's on my mind
Lady's on my mind
