That Lady, Pts. 1 & 2 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who's that lady (who's that lady)
Beautiful lady (who's that lady)
Lovely lady (who's that lady)
Real fine lady (who's that lady)


[Chorus 1]
Hear me calling out to you
Cause that's all that I can do
Your eyes tell me to pursue
But you say "Look yeah, but don't touch, baby"
Nah, nah, nah don't touch

[Verse 2]
Who's that lady (who's that lady)
Sexy lady (who's that lady)
Beautiful lady (who's that lady)
Real fine lady (who's that lady)

[Chorus 2]
I would dance upon a string
Any gift she'd want, I'd bring
I would give her anything
If she would just do what I say
Come 'round my way, baby
Shine my way
[Verse 3]
Who's that lady (who's that lady)
Beautiful lady (who's that lady)
Lovely lady (who's that lady)
Real real fine lady (who's that lady)

[Chorus 3]
I would love to take her home
But her heart is made of stone
Gotta keep on keepin' on
If I don't she'll do me wrong
Do me wrong, yeah

Genius Answer

The “That Lady” track was funky, danceable — it had a lot of rhythm to it. And then I plugged into the lead, and when I hit the very first note the song went from, like, black and white to 3-D technicolor. It turned into something that none of us, quite frankly, could’ve imagined or expected. And I played everywhere, and after I finished I was yelling and the engineers were going nuts. Everybody else was kind of mummified. My oldest brother, Kelly, looked at me through the studio glass, like he didn’t blink for 45 minutes. Then [yells], and it was like, “Ernie, you’re going to have to do another take because you’ve got to make room for the vocals.” So I was kind of ticked off and did a second take. The second take is what’s on the record. But the first take was better.
