lyrics

I'm about to tell a story that I haven't yet
About the most intelligent woman that I ever met
She looked like Jackie Onassis
Top of her classes, and I'm doing my best just passing by
I'm so funny in my body I can barely walk
I'm so full of them funny feeling I can barely talk
And here comes Jackie Onassis
Don't need to ask it
But have you ever seen a woman so fine?

She said come on out, just a couple hours
We gonna have a real good time
And I say
Where ya going?
Where ya going?
When ya coming home?
Somebody in the front seat calls out
Everyone quit wasting my time
Gotta hit the road and hit the road, hit the road
There they go and there they go and I was on my own

I ain't never spoke my mind up in a crowded place
I ain't got no cool demeanor and smooth talking ways
Cuz I ain't like Jackie Onassis
Girls in sunglasses looking me up like
I'm part of some game
Well the altercation happened round the 10th of May
Some poorly dressed spectator had something unkind to say
It comes back to me in flashes
I get risky, there's a swing and a miss and I'm all ashamed

When she found me I was in pieces
Crying hard into my hat she tell me
Mama you look lovely when you take a stand
I tell her
No one's ever been so kind to me and I thank you for that
She said Here ya go and here ya go, here ya go
Took her hair out a bow and put that ribbon in my hand
Here we go!

Look at that lady
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, to walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah

Oh play it, play it, play

I got sunny days on the track field
Laughing hard just me and mine
Got a great part in the spring play after all
I got my rose pink tinted glasses and they fit me just fine
And I let it go and let it go, let it go
Babada babadada babada babadaba baba

Here we go!

Look at that lady
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, to walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah
Look at that lady
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, to walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah
Look at that lady, Little Miss Thing!
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, hold my hand
And walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah

Look at that lady
She carries herself right, singing ah ah ah
She's the first lady, to walk me through the night
She's singing ah ah ah
