Lady Willpower

About Lady Willpower

"Lady Willpower" is a song written by Jerry Fuller and recorded by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap for their 1968 album, Incredible. It is sung from the point of view of a man who is frustrated that the woman he is seeing will not agree to have sex with him. He promises, if she complies, to "shower [her] heart with tenderness," but it is also implicit that the relationship will end ("It's now or never") if she does not. The song hit No. 1 on the U. S. Cashbox Top 100 and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968 (behind "Grazing in the Grass" by Hugh Masekela). It also reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart during the year. It reached No. 26 U. S. Easy Listening. The single was awarded a million-selling Gold disc from the RIAA. It ranked among Cashbox's Top 100 singles of 1968, where it hit the No. 1 position the week ending August 3, 1968. The song was the No. 34 song on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles in 1968. more »

Lady Willpower, it's now or never
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly

I know you want to see me but you're afraid
Of what I might have on my mind
One thing you can be sure of
I'll take good care of your love
If you will let me give you mine

Lady Willpower, it's now or never
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly

Did no one ever tell you the facts of life
Well there's so much you have to learn
And I would gladly teach you
If I could only reach you
And get your lovin' in return

Lady Willpower, it's now or never
Give your love to me and I'll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly
