You Were Meant To Be My Lady (Not My Girl) - Alexander O'Neal

First time that I saw you girl

I fell in love with you

You were the very first love in my life

Now you're here

At the time, I didn't know how to break through to you

To blend your heart and mine

Now the years have passed and I'm a man

I couldn't get you then but now I understand that

Chorus

You were meant to be my lady, not my girl

You were meant to be my lady, not my girl

Saw you over there and didn't know that it was you

Until I felt the vibe (felt the vibe)

Cause you're the only one who ever aroused

This feelin' in me, oh me oh my

My love for you is back

Now I'm checking out the condition

I want to kiss you girl

Give me your permission

Chorus

You were meant to be my lady, not my girl

You were meant to be my lady, not my girl

(repeat and adlib to fade)
