Just the kind of lady to really set you sailing On emotion's ocean Just like a river she's rolling on forever Got you running around, now you've found She turned the tide of your tired heart Back to the place where you made a start She's got the power to burn you up But she's turning, turning your golden heart Lady, lady of delight Lady, lady of the night Don't stand in the gutter, boy Mumble and mutter that the world ain't treating you right I'm talking to you, I can prove it to ya Better listen to me, I've got a guarantee Now who told you life was meant to be Happiness, light, love and free What made you think you had a right? You're just a frightened child in the middle of the night Lady, lady of delight Lady, lady of the night Wild dogs baying at the moon Alley cats wailing out of tune Hoot of owls across the lake These are sounds that follow her wake Don't think you can change her, I know she'll rearrange you You might disagree but just you wait and see You think you're winning but look at the state you're in Danger, stranger Some call her goddess, some call her a who*e She's a sister, a lover, a mother, and more She keeps on coming, she makes it clear That if you let her in you've got nothing to fear Lady, lady of delight Lady, lady of delight...
