The Lady's Not For Sale - Kris Kristofferson
Written by:Kris Kristofferson&Carol Pugh
She longed to be a lady
When she was just a child
Where the grass was greener Lord
She done her growin' wild
And she tried to spread her tender wings
And never left the ground;
So she turned to dreams at sweet sixteen
And woke up comin' down
But she tries in her way climbin' higher
And she dies each time she fails
So give her a home or leave her alone
The lady's not for sale
She ain't ashamed to show her soul
She'll sell it for a song
But free don't mean she's easy
Or ripe for goin' wrong
So let her be the lady Lord
She wants so bad to be
Let her win the gentle man
That she was born to please
Cause she tries climbin' higher
And she dies each time she fails
So give her a home or leave her alone
The lady's not for sale
