Who Was That Lady?
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - James Van Heusen
First recording/First release by: Dean Martin - 1959



You're looking at a loser
A man who's loved and lost
A man whose most romantic bridges now have all been crossed
And still that face appears, wherever I go
I'm sure you're bored to tears
But I must know
Who was that lady?
That fabulous lady?
That lady I saw you with last night?

Tell me, was she an angel?
If she was an angel
She sure kept her wings out of sight!

Pardon my asking, but was she thrilling
And was she willing to kiss the evening away?
Say who was that lady?
I knew such a lady
And foolishly let her out of my life
So if she's the one
Please spare me the pun
I'd sure miss the fun in
"That was no lady, that was my wife"

Who was that lady?
I knew such a lady
And foolishly let her out of my life
So if she's the one
Please spare me the pun
I'd sure miss the fun in
That old crawler no joke is duller
Than that was no lady
That was my wife
