  Now won't you run and tell your boyfriend
  Tell him don't hold his breath for me
  I've got some money I was saving
  Got some hearts that I'll be breaking
  Know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
  I know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
  She's so fine

  And I like sometimes to wave it high
  Up where everyone can see
  I'm a lady
  Got my mind made up
  Got my mind made up
  I know what's been mad, you really don't
  Try to hold a light to me
  I'm a lady
  Got my mind made up
  Got my mind made up

  I like to watch the way the wind blows
  What does it know that I don't yet
  Ooh, oh, look so pretty now
  You're just so sweet
  Let's see how far you can get
  See just how far you can get
  She's so fine

  Dreams are gone
  And the dreams are gone
  No one said, no
  No one said
  Make something with what's in your head


(2:15) Same as the verse, but striking the notes a little less frequently

  And I like sometimes to wave it high
  Yeah, where everyone can see
  I'm a lady
  Got my mind made up
  Got my mind made up
  I know what's been mad, you really don't
  Try to hold a light to me
  I'm a lady
  Got my mind made up
  Got my mind made up

  (Got my mind made up)
  (Got my mind made up, got my mind made up)


  And I like sometimes to wave it high
  Up where everyone can see
  I'm a lady
