"The Lady's Not For Sale" lyrics
"The Lady's Not For Sale"
She longed to be a lady when she was just a child
But where the grass was greener
She done her going wild
And she tried to spread her tender wings
But never left the ground
So she turned to the breeze
At sweet sixteen
And woke up coming down
But she tries in her way climbing high
And she dies each time she fails
So give her a home
Or leave her alone
The lady's not for sale
She ain't ashamed to show her soul
She'll sell it for a song
But free don't mean she's easy
Or right for going wrong
Oh so let her be the Lady, Lord
She wants so bad to be
And let her win
The gentleman
She was born to please
But she tries in her way climbing high
And she dies each time she fails
So give her a home
Or leave her alone
The lady's not for sale
Oh so give her a home
Or just leave her alone
You know the lady is not for sale

When I was down you just stood there grinning.
You got a lotta nerve to say you gotta helping hand to lend

Nicolette Larson - "Appalachian Lullaby" Well, I love my baby
Sweet and fair:
You've got the sky in your eyes
The sun in your hair
I rock you to sleep most every night
And sing you this song
While I hold you tight
Sleep, my baby
The angels...
Yvonne Elliman - "Happy Ending" Take me away from this hungry older
Take me away from this tired and lonely thirst
I've got nothing at all since your loved went and died
Are you making me crawl? Am I making you cry?
Am I making you...
