lena horne - a lady must live lyrics

[intro]
some women are colder then steel
from such a fate heaven preserve us
some women repress what they feel
and that is why some women are nervous
a woman is just like a plum
she ripens and falls too soon
and should she refuse to succumb
she quickly dries up like a prune

[verse 1]
life is love, you know that
love is life and so that
should make you forgive
for a lady must live
when no love is calling
all your joy keeps falling
like sand through a sieve
for a lady must live
i never thought holding a hand meant
throwing your soul away
if mother eve obeyed that commandment
where would we be today?
hey, i got lips, come on, let’s don’t waste ’em
if you long to taste them
then you should forgive, really
’cause a lady should live, ah
[verse 2]
tell me, how can love be vicious
when everybody out here knows it’s so delicious?
come on daddy, lay on back and forgive
a lady is entitled to live
with my john and my leo
don’t we make a pretty trio?
that’s proof positive, absolutely
i am entitled to live
and since i am not a cold+blooded creature
what am i supposed to do?
yeah, but if i looked like some old bat from outer sp+ce
i guess i’d be a good little old lady too
what’s my siren song for?
what is your chaise lounge for?
come on and forgive
’cause a lady
i’m talking ’bout all of us ladies
i’m talking ’bout every lady that can still breathe
has got a right to live, live, live, live, live, live
ah, get on out there and get yourself some live, you hear?
