Songtexte: Steve Miller Band (The). Wide River. Walks Like A Lady.

By: Leo Sidran and Steve Miller
Everybody wants to be her man
Everybody knows her name
And every single time that she walks by
Everybody just falls back lame
Everybody wants to see her
Ain't nobody wants to talk
They're afraid that they might say too much
Afraid that she might walk

You know she walks like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild

Talks like a baby
But she looks like a lady to me

Why do they blame her
Why do they call her name that way
All they want to do is
Try to shame her
Try to make her play their game that way
They'll never chain her down
They'll never make her stay that way
She's not that way
You can't explain her cause all she wants to do is

Walk like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild
Talks like a baby, but she looks like a lady to me

Time just keeps on passin'
Till I finally asked her out
She said pick me up at eight
And don't be late
And we'll see what you're about

Up to the drive just ready to roll
The girl was no where to be seen
She stood me up, she knocked me down
Boy, that girl is mean

You know she walks like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild
Talks like a baby, but she looks like a lady to me

Why do they blame her
Why do they call her name that way
All they want to do is
Try to shame her
Try to make her play their game that way
They'll never chain her down
They'll never make her stay that way
She's not that way
You can't explain her cause all she wants to do is

Walk like a lady
Talk like a lady
You know she walks like a lady
You know she talks like a baby
Walk like a lady
Talk like a lady
You know she walks like a lady
You know she talks like a baby
Looks like a lady to me
Looks like a lady to me
Looks like a lady to me
