[Verse 1]
She got them eagle feathers and cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude, yeah
And she never said she would stay by my side
She only wanted to be there for the ride
A bottle of wine, a couple of lines
And she was there for the night
[Refrain]
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage, she said
"Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
[Verse 2]
An angel of mercy, an angel of greed
Never stop till she get what she need
She dance like Salome
And curses with a matelot tongue, ow, ha
I said, "Baby, won't you slow down for me?
You got to move if you wanna be free
Like the wind, I'm just blowing anywhere I please"
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to change her ways
Said I'd keep her in a golden cage, she said
"Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
[Chorus]
Lady, you're no lady
You're my woman
Got the love I need
You are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
She said, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, baby, baby
My, my, my
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage, she said
"Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
[Chorus]
Lady, you're no lady
You're my woman
Got the love I need
You are my woman, oh, baby
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
She said, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
'Cause she said, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
You might as well set me free
