Lady's Song - Gil Scott-Heron

I wrote this song for a very special lady friend of mine

Who was separated from her man as often our ladies are

This song was about the love that I feel for her

And the respect I feel for the way she has faced her life

And it’s challenges

To say any words you ain’t feeling

Well that don’t seem to be what she needs

She’s been hurt a lot

Hurt and put down a lot

But she don’t really need your sympathy

'Cause her touch is soft and her eyes are smiling

Though small time people try and put her down

She ain’t done nobody wrong

Lov she has is gonna keep her strong

It feels like long aftr love has abandoned you and me

And you may see her running to work in the morning

Remember there’s a whole lot on her mind

If you’ve got nothing hip to say

Why not let her go on her way?

'Cause brother, everybody just ain’t got the time

Got the time, got the time
