“Lady Powers” is the seventh track on Vera Blue’s debut studio album, Perennial. She explained the meaning of the song via Facebook:
“Lady Powers” is about not having to use your sexuality to be respected as a woman and to be able to feel comfortable in your own skin without having to change for so...
[Chorus]
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
[Verse 1]
I thought that you said you'd buy me flowers
So you had me waiting here for hours
Empty handed, took for granted
My lady, lady, lady, lady powers
I thought that you said you'd take me dancing
Nothing special, just a touch of romancing
I can't stand it, how you take for granted
My lady, lady, lady, lady powers
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm not gonna beg for your respect
I won't be defined by your eyes
You can refuse, I shouldn't have to use
[Chorus]
My lady, lady, lady, lady powers
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
[Verse 2]
I know that you think I'm going crazy
But I'm not gonna settle for anything short of amazing
Couple billion on the earth
Don't you think I deserve someone who puts me first?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm not gonna beg for your respect
I won't be defined by your eyes
Beauty and lies, unsatisfied
All the things we do for your kind
You can refuse, but I shouldn't have to use
[Chorus]
My lady, lady, lady, lady powers
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
[Bridge]
And I could bare my body and my bones, mmm
But that would only tear me from my throne, hmmm
[Chorus]
My lady, lady, lady, lady powers
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
Lady, lady, lady, lady powers
