About My Kind of Lady

"My Kind of Lady" was the second single from Supertramp's 1982 album …Famous Last Words…. The song is a mid-tempo love ballad; it peaked at #16 for USA Billboard Adult Contemporary and #31 for USA Billboard pop singles. The lead and backing vocals were all sung by Davies, who harmonizes with himself by switching between his natural voice and a falsetto vocal. The echo-treated and natural sounding voice was sung in Davies' baritone. The falsetto passages were double tracked and mixed with a phaser. Despite being released as a single, the track was not performed live. The song's writing credits are given to Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, members of the band, although as indicated on the album sleeve, it is a Davies composition. Like John Lennon and Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Davies and Hodgson joined writer's credits from 1974 until 1983, when Hodgson left Supertramp to pursue a solo career. The song was the last single released during original member Hodgson's tenure.

Let me tell you what I want to say
You're the only one who can make me feel this way
My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace

No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along and then you mend my broken dreams
I was so down and then as foolish as it seems

You gave me your affection
Yeah baby you came through
We'll make it you'll see
In spite of those who say it's wrong

This time we feel that we belong
Now we can truly say
We'll be together and that's all we'll ever need
We'll love each other, that's the way it's gonna be

And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my honey
You know I'll love you every day

When things go wrong we'll find a way
I'm so glad I met you
Much more than I can ever say
We're making plans and holding hands just like before

We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road
It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore
I've been wastin' my life away

I've got a message for you today
To tell you that you are
My kind of lady
I'm not the same since I met you

All of my dreams had fallen through
And then you came along
One magic night when things went right it was so fine
Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine

And nothin' under the sun of moon
Can make us be apart
Oh my baby
You know I'll love you all the way

When times get hard we'll smile and say
I'm so glad I met youI'll love you more and more each day
We're making plans and holding hands just like before
We'll try again, we'll make amends along the road

It's fellin' good, just like it should, this time we know
We'll share each other's happiness for now and evermore
