There’s a song I actually like – musically, anyway --but I can’t stand to actually listen to the lyrics:
“She’s a Lady”, sung by Tom Jones, written by Paul Anka.
Some of the troublesome lines:
“But she aways knows her place…”
“Well she’s never in the way
Always something nice to say, Oh what a blessing.
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she’s okay alone, and there’s no messing…”
“Well she knows me through and through,
She knows just what to do, and how to please me…”
And the capper:
“Never would abuse her…” Gosh, Paul, does that really need to be said? I mean, is that behaviour actually
remarkable?
This is the same lyrical Lothario who started a love song with “I’m so young and you’re so old…”
