Lead Break 
 
On the streets she's a lady 

But when she's in my arms 

The lady is a woman 

She's all I ever want 
 
And loving comes so natural 

But when she's in my arms 

I've never held a lady 

Like the one I'm holding now

I'm mighty close to heaven 

As close a god allows 

I've never held a lady 

Like the one I'm holding now

I've never held a lady 
          G5               C5 
Like the one I'm holding now
