Thank God You Are My Lady - The Dells

Remember when our bread box

Didn’t hold a crumb

I’d look to friends

They’d see me, duck, and run the other way

A few words from you

Put my ego in repair

You gave me hope

In the face of despair everyday

And nights while you lay sleeping

Curled up by my side

I lie awake in the dark

And gazed at you with pride

Thank God, thank God, thank God

That you’re my lady

Thank God, thank God, thank God

That you’re my lady (I'm so glad you’re my lady)

In my life

I was caught up in the rat race

Of 9 to 5 success

Sometimes I fail at home

To give a happiness and love you need

You could’ve packed and left

But you made a sacrifice

It makes me more determined now

To give you a better life and succeed

And when people start to ask me

Just what pulled me through

I’ve got to give you credit

Just where credit is due

(I'd say) Thank God, thank God, thank God

That you’re my lady

Thank God, thank God, thank God

That you’re my lady (I'm so glad you’re my lady)

In my life

Let me reassure you

Wipe those tears away

I’d be crazy to leave you

For the rest of your life

You’ll hear me say

Thank God, thank God, thank God

That you’re my lady

Thank God, thank God, thank God

That you’re my lady (I'm so glad you’re my lady)

In my life

Thank God, thank God, thank God

That you’re my lady

Thank God, thank God, thank God

That you’re my lady (I'm so glad you’re my lady)

In my life
