The Lady's Not For Sale Lyrics - Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends: The Publishing Demos1968-72 - Kris Kristofferson

She longed to be a lady, 

When she was just a child; 

But where the grass was greener, Lord 

She done her growin' wild. 

Then she tried to spread her tender wings, 

And never left the ground; 

So she turned to dreams at sweet sixteen 

And woke up coming down. 

But she tries in her way climbing higher, 

And she dies each time she fails; 

So give her a home, or leave her alone; 

The lady's not for sale.

She ain't ashamed to show her soul, 

So she'll sell it for a song. 

But free don't mean she's easy 

Or right for going wrong. 

So let her be the lady, Lord, 

She wants so bad to be; 

And let her win the gentle man 

That she was born to please.

'Cause she tries in her way climbing higher, 

And she dies each time she fails; 

So give her a home, or leave her alone; 

The lady's not for sale.
