lyrics

You see me sitting around
Perplexed and feeling so down
Although I wear these beautiful gowns
(Don’t make me a lady)
(You’re not our lady)

They come from all over town
They hate to see me around
Rips at my soul and screams out so loud
(You’re not our lady)
(I’m not their lady)

But you're doing really well
In fancy clothes and pearls
(Lady Dido Belle)
Ostrich feathers fancy curls
(Lady Dido Belle)

Yes I’m wearing fancy clothes
But nobody knows
The hurt I feel deep down in my soul
(Don’t feel like a lady)
(You’re not our lady)

I still have to wash their clothes
Slave blood runs through my bones
And they are always there to remind me
(You're our African lady)
(I’m their African lady)

But you're doing rather well
Maids to brush your curls
(Lady Dido Belle)
Fancy clothes diamonds and pearls
(Lady Dido Belle)

Am I black or white?
Am I love or despised?
Am I free or enslaved?
Please won’t someone explain?

But you're doing rather well
(Am I black or white?)
Maids to brush your curls
(Lady Dido Belle)
Fancy clothes diamonds and pearls
(Am I free or enslaved?)

Lady Dido Belle (Don’t feel like a lady)
Lady Dido Belle (I’m not their lady)
Lady Dido Belle (You’re our Lady Belle)
You’re my Lady Belle (yes I am a lady)

Lady Dido Belle
