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
