You're so crude 

But you're so nice 

A boy like you could use some advice 



You're so cruel 

But you're so sweet 

The way you're lookin' 

When you're lookin' at me 



Well, I'm keeping my thoughts to myself 

And with what I'm thinkin' 

You know it's just as well 



I'm a lady 

You can't go messin' around with my heart 

I'm a lady 

Now you need love 

Cause your sweet talk 

Won't do a thing for me 

I prefer my man sugar free 

I'm a lady 



You're standing too close to me 

A sure sign of immaturity 

Young man you shouldn't be so bold 

And exercise a little self-control 



Uh, remember that we just met 

You need to learn to walk 

Before you jump ahead 



I'm a lady 

You can't go messin' around with my heart 

I'm a lady 

And you're attractive 

But you don't go saying things like that 

You're tryin' to make me forget 

I'm a lady 



You should have no regrets 

Though you lost out on me 

And when your friends ask you who you met 

You can tell them that she 

That she 

Was a lady 

I'm a lady 



I'm keepin' my thoughts to myself 

And with what I'm thinkin' 

Yeah well maybe it's just as well 



Yeah 

I'm a lady 

I'm a lady 



No your sweet talk won't do a thing for me 

I prefer my man sugar free 

I'm a lady 

Oh, yeah
