Lyrics - Lady Love

Lady Love

[V1]
She walks down the road with a swagger to her hips
Her skirts real short and bright lipstick on her lips
She catches the eyes of the guys on the street
With her low cut top and high heels on her feet
She walks like a lady but she sure ain't one
She lights up a cigarette and smokes
She's out on the town looking for some fun
Cheap perfume, swigging vodka and coke

[Chorus]
She walks with a wiggle but she talks like a man
Swears like a trooper and swigs when she can
She really ain't no lady but the men don't care
They'd all like to friend her and take her somewhere

[V2]
She stubbs her cigarette with her high heel
Scans up the street to look for her next meal
Spies a fella looking straight in her eye
So takes a wander on up to pass him by
She walks like a lady but she sure ain't one
She lights up a cigarette and smokes
She's out on the town looking for some fun
Cheap perfume, swigging vodka and coke

[Chorus]
She walks with a wiggle but she talks like a man
Swears like a trooper and swigs when she can
She really ain't no lady but the men don't care
They'd all like to friend her and take her somewhere

[V3]
He walks on beside her takes a hold of her arm
Hands her some money to pay for her charms
In the darkness of an alleyway she earns her pay
Making just enough to survive another day
She walks like a lady but she sure ain't one
She lights up a cigarette and smokes
She's out on the town looking for some fun
Cheap perfume, swigging vodka and coke

Very cool lyrics Jane

great! .....now sing em :D

We all seem to be horses that refuse the same obstacle here. Any horse whisperer around?
Or maybe a donkey that can show us?

I am trying to figure a way to write lyrics to music, but I'm still learning. I will keep trying.

---

Do...you write great stuff! Never understand how you writer types fo it....alien world to us mere mortals.

Kimbo thank you for the kind words. Music is pretty alien to me right now, but I am determined and I will find a way to succeed. xx

Hi Jane. These lyrics are very good. Love the line... she walks like a lady but she sure ain`t one. A guitarist may have to change or add a few words to make it fit obviously with your blessing. I feel an uptempo, modern kind of Arctic Monkeys groove. It is great you are writing and sharing this with us. You could let us know what styles of music you like because there is a wealth of good guitarists on here that would honour your lyrical integrity.
Just broke a string. Now I am 5string!!!

Bad luck on the string haha thank you. I'm really easy with word changes and genre, I appreciate that musicians need to change things to fit the words to tunes. I kind of wrote this to a country music style, however, a lot of my writing begins in one genre and ends in another. I am more concerned that someone likes the lyrics, not so much as to which genre it ends up as. I know enough to realise some of my lyrics could work equally well sung fast or slow. And I think the musicians should make the genre choice based on how they see it. I'm happy to reword if necessary so it fits better given some idea how it's wanted. x
