Lady Lyrics

You're my Lady

Don't think I don't see them looking at ya
All of them wishing they could have ya
And as a matter of fact, uh
A bunch of them are itchin' for you to scratch'em
I'm tired of hiding what we feel
I'm trying to get with the real
And I'm-a gonna make it know
'Cause I want them to know

You're my lady

You're my little baby, my darling baby
I swear you're the talk of the town
And everybody wants to know what's going down
Babe, I know they've seen us before
Maybe at the liquor store, or maybe at the health food stand
They don't know that I'm your man

You're my lady

I can tell they're looking at us
I pick you up everyday from your job
And every guy in the parking lot wants to rob me of my girl
And my heart and soul, and everybody wants to treat me so cold
But I know I love you and you love me
There's no other lover for you or me
You're my lady

I can't tell they're looking at us

You're my lady
My divine lady
You're my lady
Such a wonderful lady
I can't tell they're looking at us

Lady Song Chart

Written by D'Angelo and Raphael Saadiq (former lead singer of the R&B trio Tony! Toni! Toné!), this was the third single from D'Angelo's debut album.

"I wrote 'Lady' in a Marriott Hotel lobby in Connecticut," Saadiq told Wax Poetics in 2009. "There was a piano sitting there, and I just sat down and started writing this song about a girl I knew who lived in Long Island. I originally played it for the members of Tony! Toni! Toné!, but they didn't like it. I remember them saying, 'Everything you write is not a hit.' So, I put it away."

D'Angelo confessed that he didn't really like the track while he was recording it because it was too simple. Saadiq explained: "D was trying to be very complex. But when people started telling him how they had made babies to that track, he appreciated it more."

This earned D'Angelo a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
