[Verse 1]
Like a little, bitty baby
I followed you around
My own mama couldn't save me
From what I knew I had found

[Verse 2]
I never knew the words to would make you come to me
You knew just what to say
No rewards for bravery
You always had it your way

[Chorus 1]
Now, your baby is a lady
Can I lay my body down for ya?
Now, your baby is a lady
Can I lay my body down for ya?

[Verse 3]
You said I had a wild thing about me
Still you came around
Funny how it's working out to be
You won't put me down

[Verse 4]
The more you want, the more you please, baby
And I can show you how
Soft the night and I can be on you, maybe
You need my loving now

[Chorus 2]
Your baby is a lady
Can I lay my body down for ya?
Now, your baby is a lady
Can I lay my body down for ya?

[Outro]
Ba-be, ba-be, baby, now
Your baby is a lady now
I'm a lady
Can I lay my body down?
I'm a lady
Can I lay my body down?
Yes, I'm a lady
Can I lay my body down?
Now, I'm a lady
Can I lay my body down?
I'm a lady
Can I lay my body down?
I'm a lady
Can I lay my body down?
I'm a lady
Can I lay my body down?
