Lady i can't explain
By: jimmy buffett
1979
What could i do?
That's never been done before
What can i say?
That hasn't been said by scores

If i was a designer i could do nothin' finer
Than dress you in style
But i'm a hopeless romantic still behind all these antics
Is a heart full of smiles

So i'll just keep on dreamin' (i'll just keep on dreamin')
Thoughts that are in my brain
You just keep on bein'
Lady i can't explain

I know that i've
The imagination of a child
And there are times
When i let it all run wild

But if i hurt, you forgive
Still you won't let me live
Some of those episodes down

That's why i love you
And put no one above you
Love your sights and your sounds

So, i'll just keep on movin' (i'll just keep on movin')
When the forecast calls for rain
You just keep on bein'
Lady i can't explain

So i'll just keep on movin' (i'll just keep on movin')
When the forecast calls for rain
You just keep on bein'
The lady i can't explain
No no, the lady i can't explain

Coda:
Ah, yes i love you
Put no one above you
You're the lady i can't explain
