Rita Coolidge - Basic Lady Lyrics

Rita Coolidge Lyrics

"Basic Lady"

Basic lady don't need your diamond rings
Basic lady likes the basic things
Basic baby likes to dance and sing
Basic lady likes the basic things

Big city minded woman, know she's always gone
Basic lady stays close to home
Basic lady is honest to the bone
Lay back and love you all night long

Basic lady don't dig your fancy cars
Mostly she digs you for what you are
Basic lady just stand up and shout
I got to tell the world what it's all about

Basic lady make you roll and a-waller
(Makes me want to scream and a-holler)
She's got no apologies, she needs no cover
Fact of the matter, she's a basic lover

Basic lady make you roll and a-waller
(Makes you wanna scream and holler)
If you've got your mind going further
Basic ladies make damn good mothers

Basic lady don't need your diamond rings
Basic lady likes the basic things
Basic baby likes to dance and sing, oh
Basic lady likes the basic things

Basic lady
Basic lady
Basic lady
Basic lady
