Additional Information

  • Cowritten by Freddie and Billy Squier, a work-in-progress take was included on The Solo Collection, and was an outtake from Squier's Enough Is Enough sessions. However, Freddie didn't feature on the finished version.
  • The work-in-progress take was incomplete, so the compilers of The Solo Collection edited on the conclusion of the album version instead.

Lyrics

I've been faking my past
But now I know my connection is coming through, yeah
I put my ass on the line, hey
Hey baby, so what's new
I told you

Don't look now, I'm inching up behind
Don't look now, in the creases of your mind
Don't stop now, we're moving much to fast
Gonna find out where you draw the line
Here she comes now, so divine (hey come on, come on, come on, she's so relaxed baby)

She's a lady with a tenor sax, hey
Cool baby drives a mean Cadillac
She's a lady with a tenor sax, yeah
You're gonna meet her on her own level, don't look back
Don't look back, don't look back
'Cos the lady's got a tenor sax

She jives, she's so bad
She's a tango with a big, big business sense
She had it
Oh, oh, dee la dum bum bay oh
Bah, ba-dee, dum
Um bum da bee bum

Don't walk now, you'll slip into the past
Don't walk now, can nothin' ever last
Don't look now, the chips are gonna fall
Sooner or later you're gonna be mine

Here she comes now, oh, yeah, yeah
She's a lady with a tenor sax, yeah
She's a lady with a tenor sax
She's a lady with a tenor sax, yeah
She's a lady with a tenor sax
Wait til the next time

Don't walk now, you'll slip into the past
Don't walk now, can nothin' ever last
Don't look now, the chips are gonna fall
Sooner or later you're gonna be mine

Here she comes now, oh, yeah, yeah
She's a lady with a tenor sax, yeah
She's a lady with a tenor sax

She's a lady with a tenor sax
A soul baby cuts a groove on her back
Lady with a tenor sax
She looks, she loves, she walks into the fire
There's a lady with a tenor sax
Fight it over

Lady with a tenor sax
She's snide, she cried, she begged you'd come alive
Lady with a tenor sax
Yeah, yeah

Lady with a tenor sax
