Lady (I won’t bring you Flowers)
I saw her first, in a bar in New York City
She looked alone, that’s what caught my eye
So I went up, asked her if she needed
Someone to help pass the time
She smiled and said, “I could sure use someone.
You’re the first who’s had the time.
I just need, someone I can talk to.”
Then she said,
“Will it be your place or mine?”
And I said,
“Lady, I won’t bring you flowers
And I won’t treat you like the others do
But lady,
Lady if you want me
I’ll spend the night with you.”
The sun was shining early the next morning
Seemed that things had finally gone my way
I’d found a girl, someone I could hold to
I knew right then she had to stay
But she was gone, left but a memory
I couldn’t understand where I’d gone wrong
Then I recalled the words I had told her
I wanted her near, but she felt she didn’t belong
‘Cause I said
“Lady, I won’t bring you flowers
And I won’t treat you like the others do
But lady,
Lady if you want me
I’ll spend the night with you.”
So I went back to that bar in New York City
And she was there sitting all alone
So I went up, took her hand in my hand
Gave her a rose, said, “Won’t you please come home?”
I told her,
“Lady, I give you this flower
And a love that is, oh so true
And lady, Lady if you want me
I’ll spend my life with you.”
