[Verse 1]
She's elegant, she's gracious
A lady of the finest social set
And you're the rich man that can buy her all the world
And what she wants, she gets
You give her charge accounts and checkbooks
Thinkin' that's the way to keep her satisfied
But what she needs the most
Is what no charge account or checkbook ever buys

[Chorus]
The lady is a woman
Even you should understand
While the lady may need soft things
The woman needs a man
Yes, the lady is a woman
That you can be certain of
While your lady wants for nothing
Still your woman wants for love

[Verse 2]
Well, all I do is drive your limousine
And chauffeur you to where you'd like to go
But when I look at your lady
Even I can see there's somethin' you don't know
You give her ev'rything she wanted
But not one of the things she really needs
Yes, you still may have your lady
But lately now, your woman comes to me
[Chorus]
Your lady is a woman
Even you should understand
While your lady may need soft things
Still your woman needs a man
Your lady is a woman
That you can be certain of
While your lady wants for nothing
Still your woman wants for love
