Nicole Jonas - Lady Like Lyrics

Since I was young my Momma always told me
Girl, act like a lady
Go ahead & just let em say what they wanna say
Haters will always hate &
Just to be sure that they get no satisfaction at the lack of your reaction
Let em know that it's just because you don't give a damn
& tell yourself you just have to

Act like a lady
That's what they say & I've perfected it to a tee
But then life gets in the way
By then it's too late
I've lost complete control playin' the role
You should've known your dealin' with a lady

As I grew older I learned there were exceptions to a true lady's perfection
Rules were made to be broke & that's just what I found
Don't let em bring ya down
Always remember respect is earned, not given
Speak your mind, form your opinions
State your case, take a deep breath in & count to ten
Present yourself as nothing less than

A lady
That's what they say & I've perfected it to a tee
But then life gets in the way
By then it's too late
I've lost complete control playin' the role
You should've known your dealin' with a lady

Hey, what really defines a lady
Hey, & who's to say that she can't live her life & do it in her very own special way
So till the end be yourself
That's what makes you a perfect lady

Act like a lady
