Just the kind of lady to really set you sailing   On emotion's ocean   Just like a river she's rolling on forever   Got you running around now you've found   She turns the tide of your tired heart   Back to the place where you made a start   She's got the power to burn you up   But she's turning, turning your golden heart      Lady, lady of delight   Lady, lady of the night      Don't stand in the gutter boy, mumble and mutter   That the world ain't treating you right   I'm talking to you - I can prove it too -   You'd better listen to me - I've got a guarantee   Now who told you life was meant to be   Happiness, Light, Love and Free   What made you think you had a right?   You're just a frightened child in the middle of the night      Lady, lady of delight   Lady, lady of the night      Wild dogs baying at the moon   Alley cats singing out of tune   Hoot of owls across the lake -   These are sounds that follow her wake      Don't think you can change her -   I know she'll rearrange you   You might disagree but just you wait and see   You think you're winning but look at the state you're in   Danger - stranger:   Some call her goddess some call her a whore   But she's a sister - a lover - a mother and more   She keeps on coming - she makes it clear   That if you let her in you've got nothing to fear      Lady, lady of delight   Lady, lady of the night
