Outkast – Behold A Lady lyrics

[Andre 3000]
Sophistophone {?}, aristocats
Distinguished stars,
clean up your acts
Pull up your pants, ladies and gents
Please, act like
you got some sense
You know what I really wanna know?
Where do all the
good girls go
What clubs they hang in?

[Chorus]
Behold a
lady
I see you standin' on the wall
Clap, clap... you deserve it all
[Repeat]
[Ad libs]
Candy-coated unicorns are quite hard to
find
The classic lady, a rare breed indeed
Is that make and model
discontinued?

[Verse 1]
Today I might snow, tomorrow I'll
rain
3000's always changing but you stay the same
And I need that, hey I
need that (in my life)
When I feel washed up and inadequate
And throw all
my songs away, no matter how mad I get
You make me smile, you make me
smile
You make me smile, you make me... (Hoooooooo!)
You're the anchor
that holds me down
When my ship is sinking
You won't let me drown and I'm
grateful
(Awwaww
Awwawwawwawwawwwwawww!)

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Yo'
mama's old fashioned, yo' daddy don't play
You'll always be this
lovely
'Cause they raised you that way
Hallelujah! Thank ya Jesus! Thank
ya Lord!
Thank ya Jesus! Thank ya Lord!
Thank ya Jesus! Thank ya
Lord!
You're not extra, you're so plain Jane
The yin to my yang,
darlin'
You've got that thang and you know it
But yet you don't and that's
what's so cool
You don't say too much, but when you do it's profound
In
the street you hold your head high
At home you get low down for me
(Can't
get no lower, can't get no lower, can't get no lower, yeah!)
Hooo! You're the
anchor that holds me down
When my ship is sinking, you won't let me drown
(Aaaaaaahh!)
(Ad libs)
Sad, but one day our kids will have to visit
museums
To see what a lady looks like
So if you find one, I beg you, hold
her tight
If you spot one, good sir, treat her right
This is Benjamin
Andre signing off
Thanks a million
Good luck and
goodnight

[Chorus 2x]
