Basic Lady

Allen Toussaint

Basic lady don't need your diamond ring, no
Basic lady like basic things
Basic baby likes to dance and sing, y'all
Basic lady like basic things

The big city-minded woman, no she's always gone
But basic lady stays close to home
Basic lady, honest to the bone
She'll lay back and love you all night long

Basic lady don't dig your fancy car
She mostly digs you for what you are
Basic lady, stand up and shout
I've got to tell the world what it's all about, yeah

Basic lady make you roll and ball-a
Make you want to scream and holler
Got no apologies, she need no cover
Fact of the matter, she's a basic lover

Basic lady make you roll and ball-a
Basic lady make you scream and holler
And if you got your mind going further
Basic ladies make damn good mothers

Basic lady don't need your diamond ring, no
Basic lady like basic things
My basic baby likes to dance and sing, y'all
Basic lady likes basic things
