"The Lady I Am" lyrics

"The Lady I Am"

I'm not a lady who loves too easy
I'm a lady who loves too strong
I'm a lady who'll be waitin' at your window
And I don't mind waitin' all night long
I'm a lady who's lovin' so easy
Such a sweet piano man
I wanna hold you tonight, but I'll do alright
If you'll play the next one for the lady I am

I'm not a lady who takes lovin' lightly
I'm not one of those who goes movin' around
I'm a lady who'd be havin' you nightly
I'm a walkin' woman who's been uptown
And Lord knows, I got the time, babe
For such a sweet piano man
But I can wait for the rest, if you give me your best
When you play the next one for the lady I am

Now, when I leave this town tomorrow (leave this town)
When I leave this bar at dawn (leave this bar)
I'm gonna leave a little bit of me behind for you, baby
Just enough to keep you up all night long
And you tell me it ain't easy to handle
Such a hard piano man
But I could do ya uptight, so put it to me right
When you play the next one for the lady I am

Oh... such a sweet piano man
I could do ya uptight, so put it to me right
When you play the next one for the lady I am
Oh, oh, oh... I'm gonna keep you up all night long
Play the next one for the lady I am
