LADY'S SONG
To say any words you ain't feeling
Don't seem to be what she needs
She's been hurt a lot and put down a lot
But she don't really need your sympathy
'Cause her touch is soft and her eyes are smiling
Though small-time people try and put her down.
She ain't done nobody wrong
The love she has is gonna keep her strong
(It seems like) long after love has abandoned you and me
You might see her running to work in the morning
Remember there's a whole lot on her mind
If you've got nothing to say
Why not let her go on her way
'Cause brother, everybody just ain't got the time
Written by Gil Scott-Heron (1949-2011)
