I tried to say it politely

I tried to give you a clue

All your gold don't excite me

That old trick just won't do



Still you keep spending money

But there's blood on the perals

Don't call me babe, Don't call me honey

And think you rule my whole world



Chours:

'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady

I'm not the fool you think I am

I'm never gonna be your lady

And you will never be my man

That's right



Well listen,

I bet your wife don't know nothing

About your sordid affairs

You've got greed mixed up with lovin'

And love mixed up with flair



Chours:

But I'm never gonna be your lady

I'm not the fool you think I am

I'm never gonna be your lady



All your funky buisness

See you in jail

You might buy the other

but baby, I'm not for sale

I'm not for sale

That's right



Chours:

'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady

I'm not the fool you think I am

Yeah, I'm never gonna be your lady

And you will never be my man



No I'm never gonna be your lady

I'm not the fool you think I am

Oh I'm never gonna be your lady

And you will never be my man

Never gonna be my man



Now listen to me

That's right

I told you

Never gonna be my man

Let me tell you something boy

You can keep trying all you want to try

But it's never gonna work

You don't have a thing I need

And you sure ain't got a thing I want



Oh no,

Never be your lady
