Spektor, Regina - Lady Lyrics






Lady sing the blues so well
As if she mean it
As if it's hell down here
In the smoke-filled world
Where the jokes are cold
They don't laugh at jokes
They laugh at tragedies

Corner street societies
But they believe her
They never leave her
While she sings she make them feel things
She says, i can sing this song so blue
That you will cry in spite of you
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

And I have walked these streets so long
There ain't nothing right, there ain't nothing wrong
But the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
The little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

Lady lights a cigarette, puffs away, no regret
Takes a look around, no regrets, no regrets
Stretches out like branches of a poplar tree
She says, i'm free
Sings so soft as if she'll break, says
I can sing this song so blue
That you will cry in spite of you
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

I have walked these streets so long
There ain't nothing right, nothing wrong
But the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
The little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

But on this stage
I've learned to fly
Learned to sing
And learned to cry
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder

But now it's time
To say goodbye
Some might laugh
But I will surely cry
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder

Lady lights a cigarette
Puffs away, and winter comes
And she forgets

  1. D.... S....

    One of the best songs from one of the best albums.

  2. A.... H....

    I fucking love singer songwriters. She's the best since Harry Nilsson and that cadence is so unique. I'm always ten years late to the party. FUCK

  3. O.... R....

    O and A are listening to this song at 9:14, 20.3.19. It's a good time.

  4. A.... ....

    I hate those little wet marks on my fucking baby clavicle

  5. H.... ....

    🙂❤️✌🏼😘♊️☯️/69

  6. a.... _....

    عالم آخر .. والشتاء قادم ♥️

    I love the Billie Holiday vibe on this song.

  9. R.... S....

    How can I get the instrumental version of this song?
    Thanks a lot in advance:)

  10. Z.... A....

    Lady and Pres : Billie Holiday and Lester Young, chapeau madame Spektor, ils meritaient au moins ca...

  11. J.... B....

    Beauty lies in her voice

  12. M.... D....

    Ours is a Tale of Two Cities. . . .

  13. A.... M....

    "And I have walked these streets so long, There ain't nothing right, there ain't nothing wrong."

  15. K.... H....

    1:40 fav part

    K.... H....

    Same 😊

  16. B.... B....

    so. fucking. talented.

    B.... B....

    It's not her fault for wanting to share music.. It's just a recording, you the ones that chose to listen to it over and over!

    think about it :D

    B.... B....

    i don't even care. *listen to Regina all over again*

  17. E.... L....

    I feel like this is an homage to Billie Holiday, especially when she mentions poplar trees.

    E.... L....

    in fact, it is :)

    E.... L....

    Haha, I thought the same thing as I listened this for the first time

  18. R.... R....

    first song,I ever heard by her and I balled like a baby no idea why every one of her songs,makes me,cry now

    R.... R....

    Just saw her in concert last night, and I cried about 4 times during the show. Got to meet her afterwards and almost cried then too. God I fucking love Reg.

    R.... R....

    By all appearances, she seems to be one of the most kind, genuine people in the entire music industry and her abilities match. That's just my impression though.

  19. H.... ....

    Love Ralph U. Williams sax solo.

    Blues piękny i smutny. Królowa Regina potrafi zaśpiewać wszystko.

  25. k.... ....

    my favorite song from her!

  26. t.... ....

    I tried to find live version but...
    Does anyone know why she doesn't perform this song at the concerts?

    t.... ....

    I met her at an afterparty at the Hammerstein Ballroom about 10 years ago and asked her about that. She acknowledged she doesn't perform it but didn't say why.

  27. K.... F....

    bu şarkıya bayılıyorum

  28. L.... G....

    this song is so beautiful... i love this song, her voice, emotions

  29. C.... b....

    Regina is the one of the best singers of this century, what a beautiful way of sing this amazing song, his voice is so deep and sweet at the same time. Bravo Regina, you are amazing.

  31. B.... �....

    Tragediess

    Gorgeous song.

  34. J.... P....

    This is a really good saxophonist...

  35. V.... F....

    This is the best homage to Billie Holiday I've ever heard. Lady Day would be so proud that there's still real music out here.

  36. j.... ....

    Oh my god, THANK YOU :o

  37. �.... �....

    very nice(((

  38. S.... J....

    Anyone know any other songs/artists in this particular vein? I love me some Billie Holiday and Melody Gardot, but I'm really in the mood for slow, bluesy music with lots of soulful sax.

  39. J.... R....

    Great! Thanks!

  40. n.... ....

    Always makes me tears

  41. F.... S....

    Damn, I'm so sad, and that's so pretty beautiful<3

  42. M.... C....

    fine music

  43. S.... ....

    I wish the sax was a little more upfront in the mix. Cool song though!

  44. G.... ....

    The funny thing is that I didn't know this until now (was going to look it up) but the lyrics, the way Regina sings it and the music... It all reminds me of the lovely Ms. Billie Holiday. It's just perfect.

  45. S.... ....

    That has to be the best thing I've ever heard.

  46. Z.... A....

    Thank you sir, you just helped me discover the PERFECTNESS...

  47. E.... A....

    9 dislikes. Nice try, Justin.

  48. A.... L....

    How come you call on Gods blessing, being an atheist? Are you sure you're atheist or do you believe in God, but don't feel like obeying him?

    A.... L....

    Amy Lemon cuz it's cool to do man, don't gotta believe in god to say god damn

  49. J.... A....

    congrats, and I will start spelling respect the cool way from now on.

  50. w.... ....

    does anyone know any other good songs with this kind of street saxophone? thats one of the reasons i find this song so cool

  51. c.... a....

    and that goes for a lot other bands and artists...

  52. u.... ....

    I have done this and it is absolutely perfect.

  53. d.... ....

    Step one: go to a website called "Rainy Mood". Adjust sound at the bottom of the screen to level two.

    Step two: play this song.

    Trust me.

  54. f.... ....

    I never cry. But I had to keep myself from sobbing during this song.

  55. D.... ....

    Whoever disliked this song is a tool. Seriously, tools?

  56. g.... t....

    When I grow older and have a baby I want this to him/her

  57. I.... I....

    me too.... I listen Everyday

  58. L.... ....

    I LOVE youuuu Regina. I listen to you every day.

  59. F.... C....

    This SONG is VERY VERY VERY BUENA JAJAJAJA me encanta >_____<

  60. N.... ....

    @Watdehhfook Oh, but "Long Brown Hair" is also very good - also by Regi <3 - and her entire album: "11:11" is very blues-y and a lot like this.

  61. N.... ....

    @Jye525 There is no music vid :(

  62. N.... ....

    @Watdehhfook This song is actually dedicated to Billy Holliday, - I think - so there you go :) This is the best song in the world, though, so nothing really compares. This is my favourite song - makes my heart ache just a little bit...

  63. C.... A....

    What is this called? Eargasm?

  64. A.... ....

    soooooo touching...I´ll dedicate this to Lady Whitney hope you agree<3

  65. C.... ....

    @evansdadjohn I thought that it might be about Billie Holiday when I heard "popular trees". Gotta listen to Good Morning Heartache..

  66. a.... ....

    BEST SONG EVER:):):)

  67. K.... ....

    6 people have never heard a song so blue.

  68. f.... ....

    this song is so true.

  69. J.... H....

    This song makes more sense if you know who Billy Holiday is. Good Morning Heartache is a good start.

    J.... H....

    perfecto

  70. K.... O....

    The lyrics make no sense sometimes but she sings so graceful.

  71. �.... �....

    I can sing this song so blue
    That you will cry in spite of you

    и тебе это удалось.
