Lady of the Night Songtext
von Helen Reddy

She never really had a family
People always treated her mean
She lived everywhere
From one coast to the other
And grew up somewhere in between
She struggled like a naked baby
Learning how the strong survive

Oh, lady
Lady of the night, oh, lady
Lady of the night
Never had the love she was worthy of, you see
But, deep inside her heart
She′s shinin' like a star
She′s free


Livin' off the luck of a city
Satisfaction guaranteed
She'd soon got her name
Marvel of invention
But taking care of all their needs
And even if you think you know her
There′s a part of her you never see

Oh, lady
Lady of the night, oh, lady
Lady of the night
Never had the love she was worthy of, you see
But, deep inside her heart
She she′s shinin' like a star
She′s free

She was left on a doorstep
In the pouring rain
In between the garbage and the gutter
Grew up hard and cold
Lived outside her soul
'Cause she never had a father or a mother
Even if you think you know her
There′s a part of her you never see


Oh, lady
Lady of the night, oh, lady
Lady of the night
Never had the love she was worthy of, you see
But, deep inside her heart
She's shinin′ like a star
She's free

Oh, lady
Lady of the night, oh, lady
Lady of the night
Never had the love she was worthy of, you see
Deep inside her heart
She's shinin′ like a star
She′s free

Oh, lady
Lady of the night, oh, lady
Lady of the night
Never had the love she was worth of, you see
