“Flashy Lady” by Barry Manilow
[Verse 1]
I have a friend, she’s a flashy girl
She sees the world as her own sweet world
No one’s gonna fence her in
She knows where she’s going and where she’s been
[Verse 2]
She can laugh and play
And live for the day
And when she’s here
I can’t get away
[Chorus]
And I want her so, and I want to know
Flashy lady, where you’re gonna go
And I want her so, and I want to know
Flashy lady, where you’re gonna go
[Verse 3]
She’s the kind who’ll make you feel
Life’s a game and life’s for real
She’ll show you things you’ve never seen
Make you feel like you’ve lived a dream
[Verse 4]
She can laugh and play
And live for the day
And when she’s here
I can’t get away
[Chorus]
And I want her so, and I want to know
Flashy lady, where you’re gonna go
And I want her so, and I want to know
Flashy lady, where you’re gonna go
[Outro]
And I want her so, and I want to know
Flashy lady, where you’re gonna go
And I want her so, and I want to know
Flashy lady, where you’re gonna go
