I'm A Lady Lyrics

Now won't you run and tell your boyfriend
Tell him don't hold his breath for me
I got some money I was saving
Got some hearts that I'll be breaking
Know someday though they'll make a martyr out of me
I know someday though they'll make a martyr out of me

She's so fine

CHORUS:
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 I spin magic, reel it out
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
But see how far you can get
See just how far you can get

She's so fine

CHORUS

And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone
No one said no, no one said
Make something with what's in your head
And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone

CHORUS x2

Refrain x5
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

And I like sometimes to wave it high
Yeah where everyone can see
I'm a Lady

she's saying she's a strong minded independant woman. these are so few and far between she feels its something to sing about and that people will be so impressed that she will probably become a martyr. but then she still goes on to say your so pretty, see how far you can get. because she is attractive she will always been seen as nothing more than a woman; an object, therefore only capable of stereotypical behaviour.

See, i think this is about her being completely confident in her own skin. She knows exactly what she's doing.

And I think when she says "Ooh oh look so pretty, now you're just so sweet But see how far you can get", I think she's talking about just a gorgeous girl who thinks she's better than her but being pretty only gets you so far.
