Different Kinda Lady Lyrics

She was the prom queen, the world was hers

 With a wave of her hand, whispered words

 Hearts broken by her abilities

 Addicted to the sweetness of a gentle kiss

 Lost in a search for something she might never find

 Never know if she don't try, the results will come in time

 No time to smell the roses, let alone slow dance

 Too many bad memories of forgotten romance

 She walked out slammed the door

 Damn him, she didn't need him

 A child game she had to cloth him feed him

 Alone after so long gave up hope

 Convinced all men were abusive

 Undependable heathens and sold dope

 Mister right wasn't coming

 A fact that she would have to face

 She didn't have no time to waste, she had a man to raise

 No man to chase, sick of living in this blasted place

 No time to sit around weeping like a basket case

 Her son made it all worthwhile

 The only man that got to see her smile

 She reminisced about her lifestyle before the baby came

 She did what responsible people do, she changed

 

 [Chorus x 2]

 She's a different kinda lady

 She's not often understood

 

 She was my best friend, my playmate

 Moved in next door just before the first grade

 We ran foot races, climb trees, caught insects

 Before money and sex, powder and x

 Before popularity came so crucial

 She had love and the feeling was mutual

 We used to cut our feet barefooted in chipped glass

 Now we blow smoke as we skip class

 New friends came, and with them came change

 The pressure was all, would lil mama maintain

 She began to drift away, the distance between us grew wider

 Didn't have to speak to me, I could see the hurt inside her

 I hear the words out of her mouth

 But they don't reflect what she really feel

 I've seen the smile before I know it isn't real

 Artificial happiness, superficial friends

 A nonstop whirl wind, when will it all end

 Her eyes roll back, she began to convulse

 They searched for a heartbeat, but she had no pulse

 Autopsy results show she mixed powder and downers

 And none of her new friends were around her

 When her family found her, but a

 

 [Chorus x 2]

 She's a different kinda lady

 She's not often understood

 

 She was a young girl seventeen, if I recollect correctly

 A baby with a baby, that baby was me

 She worked everyday still it wasn't enough

 World was rough, ol' girl was tough

 Drop me off in the morning

 Come back and get me in the afternoon

 Free spirits lost being guided by the moon

 Used to take me to church, try to make me a man

 But hard times put drastic changes in plan

 She was out there, every time she got up, she fell again

 In love with a bastard, stay in and out the pen

 Alcoholic addict, never tried to change himself

 Beat her to a pulp, and make her blame herself

 I tried to talk to her, mama you don't have to stay

 Just pack your bags and go, you can walk away

 She tell me about this pain, hoping I'd never experience it

 Baby boy love is some serious shit, I pray for change

 Eventually it came, like rays of light after days of rain

 She turned her life around, walked away never to return

 Still tempted by the fire, just tired of being burned

 

 [Chorus x 2]

 She's a different kinda lady

 She's not often understood
