Yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa, lady

Pardon me, lovely lady
Your smiling face reminds me of someone
She was so much like you
That I don't know what to say or do
It isn't you, oh, no, no

I'm sure by now you think I'm crazy
Let's find a place where we can talk alone
There's something about your eyes
And it's very much to my surprise
It isn't you, oh, no

Lady, lovely lady
I saw you from across the room
I couldn't help but staring
You got me staring
Lady, lovely lady
Lady, lovely lady
I saw you from across the room
I couldn't help but staring
You got me staring

Been so long since I've held her
And seeing you has turned a spark to flame
I'm taking up your time
But I can't get you out of my mind
It isn't you, oh, no

How I wish I could tell her
What I've been through
It seems like such a shame
Feeling the way I do
When I know down inside, it's true
It must be you, you, oh...

Lady, lovely lady
I saw you from across the room
I couldn't help but staring
Well, I'm staring
Lady, lovely lady
Lady, lovely lady
I saw you from across the room
I couldn't help but staring
You got me staring, staring...
