"Lady" lyrics

"Lady"

I remember when I first heard your heartbeat
It had only been eight weeks
Standing there, starin' at that screen was the
First time you ever scared me

God knows I don't know
Exactly what I'm doin', but
Good news, we got her to get through it

I hope you look just like your momma
And love her like I do
You'll see close to perfect patience
If you watch her every move
You can always run to daddy
You'll always be my baby, but
Look at her, baby girl
And you'll learn
How to be a lady
Just how to be a lady
Mmh-mmh

I can make ya laugh till you cry
But she can make your tears dry, and
When you get your heart broke by the wrong guy
She can make it right

I hope you look just like your momma
And love her like I do
You'll see close to perfect patience
If you watch her every move
You can always run to daddy
You'll always be my baby, but
Look at her, baby girl
And you'll learn
How to be a lady
Mmh-mmh
Just how to be a lady
Oh-oh

She'll hear you
She'll hold you
She'll help you through
She'll fix you
And me too

I hope you look just like your momma
And love her like I do
You'll see close to perfect patience
If you watch her every move
You can always run to daddy
You'll always be my baby, but
Look at her, baby girl
And you'll learn
How to be a lady
Just how to be a lady

Brett Young explained iHeartRadio in May 2020, "From the beginning, I didn't know if it was a song for everybody, or if it was just a gift for my wife and my daughter, but I'm really excited that it's something that the whole world is gonna hear. It's a really special one for me."
This song was written in October 2019, shortly before Brett Young's daughter, Presley, was born. He co-penned the track with Ross Copperman and Jon Nite. Young commented, "I always knew I would want to write songs for my children, but didn't realize the inspiration would come so quickly before my daughter was even born. It's a message to Presley about her mom and it became a pretty obvious choice for my first single in a new chapter of music."
"Lady" peaked at number 32 on the US Country Airplay chart.
