The Lady Makes Demands

(album: Ladies Invited - 1973)

The lady makes demands
I just can't understand
The lady makes demands
I just can't understand

First she says she loves me
Then she goes away
She says she wants me near her
Then she don't want me to stay

But the ways of this woman
Drive me out of my mind
And the love of this woman
Is the best thing I can find

The lady makes demands
I just can't understand
The lady makes demands
I just can't understand

She calls me on the telephone
In the dark hours of the night
She says, "Honey, you are the only one"
But then she don't do me right

First she lets me in
Then she turns me out
She tells me that she needs me
I just can't figure her out

The lady makes demands
I just can't understand
The lady makes demands
I just can't understand
Ooh, yeah

I can't believe this woman
She never seems content
She gives me lots of loving
But I don't know how it's meant

And the ways of this woman
Drive me out of my mind
And the love of this woman
Is the best thing I can find

Don't you love me, baby?
Don't you love me, baby?
Don't you love me, baby?
Don't you love me, baby?
(Don't you love me, baby?) Say you do now
(Don't you love me, baby?) Tell me that you love me
(Don't you love me, baby?) My sweet baby
(Ooh) Baby, baby

The lady makes demands
I just can't understand
The lady makes demands
I just can't understand

Oh, lady
Oh, I love the lady
Making demands, can't understand
Oh, my baby
Oh, I wanna stay but she turns me away
I love my baby, yeah
Look in her eyes, I see the light
I love my baby
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby
Oh, baby, mmm, I love my baby
Ooh, I love my baby
Come on, baby, come on, baby
