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)
(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
