Oh Sad Lady do you curse your name

and how many times have you been ashamed

Crazy Lady letting your emotions show

it's hard being a woman knowing what you know



Oh Sad Lady were you born in vain

nothing to live for and no one to blame

ain't no use in screaming or pulling on your hair

Crazy Lady dancing with a chair



(1st bridge)



Oh oh if you should get to know

Sad Lady

say maybe



Oh Sad Lady won't you dry your eyes

you go on living wishing you could die

'cause dying's not bad when living's not so good

Crazy Lady so misunderstood



(repeat 1st bridge)



(2nd bridge)

Tell me what you're thinking

as you lace up white shoes

tell me Sad Lady
