Regina Spektor- Lady- Lyrics

[@Angelheart1133]

"Where the jokes are cold, they don't laugh at jokes, they laugh at tragedies" Couldn't be so accurate.

[@misseli1]

This song is beyond beautiful.

[@rhobinblair903]

Damn. I haven’t heard this beautiful song in years. I found it again now at 17. I used to beg my brother to play this on the way to school while I was 12. Just a sad lost little girl. Oh. Oh how things have changed. I’ve been through so much struggle and pain to think that a poor 12 year old girl had such dark thought saddens me. And to think that i have spent 5 years sad and alone. Well that’s just crazy. It’s almost as if i had lost my mind during that time in my life. This song has a much different meaning to me than it once did. Oh how things have changed. Thank you Regina Spector for being a candle in the dark during those super dark times.

No one cares still

Lady sing the blues so well As if she mean it As if it's hell down here In the smoke-filled world Where the jokes are cold They don't laugh at jokes They laugh at tragedies Corner street societies But they believe her They never leave her While she sings she make them feel things She says, i can sing this song so blue That you will cry in spite of you Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder And I have walked these streets so long There ain't nothing right, there ain't nothing wrong But the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder The little wet tears on your baby's shoulder Lady lights a cigarette, puffs away, no regret Takes a look around, no regrets, no regrets Stretches out like branches of a poplar tree She says, i'm free Sings so soft as if she'll break, says I can sing this song so blue That you will cry in spite of you Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder I have walked these streets so long There ain't nothing right, nothing wrong But the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder The little wet tears on your baby's shoulder But on this stage I've learned to fly Learned to sing And learned to cry Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder But now it's time To say goodbye Some might laugh But I will surely cry Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder Lady lights a cigarette Puffs away, and winter comes And she forgets

I live for the saxophone solo

The solo is great specially because you can hear the pistons being pressed.

[@cicikyuu2429]

First time actually listening to this song, when I heard my friend singing it. She sounds a lot like Regina... Wow.

[@courtneysmith9807]

Regina, who hurt you?

[@carlosfergu]

"But now its time to say goodbye, some might laugh but i will surely cry"

[@paulinapobiecka3351]

Describes every moment of the song love it

[@ellaemerald8694]

Am I the only one who thought of Edith Piaf? The person who sang 'Non, je ne regrette rien'? I remember I had to watch a movie once about her life and some lines really remind me of it (especially the bits about she lights a cigarette- no regrets and she lights a cigarette and forgets)

[@Enavk]

She sounds just like Billie.... amazing

[@Lucy-ng7cw]

Billie???

[@afon8125]

Coming back here after discovering the woman who inspired it is an experience to say the least. Beautiful.

[@mariahwilliams5188]

thanks for making this video it about time some one made a lyric video to my favorite song

[@komjanuszvincentpowell8195]

The reference to poplar trees and the sound of the song is reminiscent of a song Regina Spektor must know well. She grew up listening to Billie Holiday's songs, and seems to point, though more lightheartedly, at the saddest song I've ever heard- Strange Fruit- speaking of lynchings in the south from poplar trees. It always saddens me when I remember just how close in the past these brutal crimes were committed.

[@louisdominguez6824]

Totally agree with you

[@LisvyNael]

ya...i remember Frau Leilani now... she is good playing the music and the lyric too

[@EriccaSings]

Thanks for making this :)

[@yahraj8815]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@miriamlachica5346]

I think this song should've been in the soundtrack of Sylvia.

[@faith3794]

Beautiful

[@margaretsalanguit5282]

Faith Cole mhmm

[@12liver27]

I had to find this song because I heard a guy song this and he did outstanding!

[@elsafdz9963]

Que bonita canción !!!

[@catdabill]

Is crying frowned upon because people laugh at tragedies here so maybe she was crying because her music is so beautiful

[@ClothAbidingCitizen]

What font is that? It is so beautiful!

[@caenogenesis32]

Reminds me of Arabic or Hebrew

[@ryanstapleford7984]

Mmmmmmm
