Lady (I won't bring you flowers)

I saw her first in a bar in New York City

She looked alone, that's how she caught my eye

So I went up and asked her if she needed

Someone to help pass the time

She smiled and said, "I could sure use someone

And you're the first one who's had the time.

I just need someone I can talk to."

Later she said, "Will it be your place or mine?"

And I said

Lady, I won't give you flowers

But I won't treat you like the others do

And lady; lady if you want me

I'll spend the night with you

The sun was shining early the next morning

Seemed like things had finally gone my way

I'd found a girl, one that I could hold to

I knew right then she had to stay

But she was gone, left but a memory

I couldn't understand where I'd went wrong

Then I remembered the words I had told her

I wanted her near, but she felt she didn't belong

When I said

Lady, I won't give you flowers

But I won't treat you like the others do

And lady; lady if you want me

I'll spend the night with you

So I went back to that bar in New York City

And she was there sitting all alone

So I went up, took her hand in my hand

Gave her a rose, said won't you please come home

Oh yea

Lady, I give you this flower

And a love that is oh so true

And lady; lady if you want me

I'll spend my life with you
