Peter Skellern - You're a Lady

Now the evening has come to a close

And I've had my last dance with you

On to the empty streets we go

And it might be my last chance with you

So I might as well get it over

The things I have to say

Won't wait until another day

You're a lady, I'm a man

You're supposed to understand

How these things are often planned

To be

You're romantic, I'm a fool

You're the teacher, I've come to school

Here I sit and hope that you'll

Love me

You're pure magic, unlock my chain

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

And so I say with no restraint

"Be mine, be mine"

Hard to answer, yes, I agree

But then I've got to know

I'm not asking you to marry me

Just a little love to show

Oh, I know I could make you happy

So the things I have to say

Won't wait until another day

You're a lady, I'm a man

You're suposed to understand

How these things are often planned

To be

You're romantic, I'm a fool

You're the teacher, I've come to school

Here I sit and hope that you'll

Love me

You're pure magic, unlock my chain

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

And so I say with no restraint

"Be mine, be mine"
