When the Lady Smiles

About When the Lady Smiles

"When the Lady Smiles" is a 1984 song by Dutch band Golden Earring. It was the first single from their album N. E. W. S. (NorthEastWestSouth). Following their top 10 "Twilight Zone", "When the Lady Smiles" was a U. S. chart disappointment, only reaching #76 on The Billboard Hot 100 chart. With a total of 5 "Hot 100"-releases, Golden Earring are by far the most successful Dutch band on the international charts. Dutch actor Huub Stapel has a cameo in the music video as an elevator mechanic, referencing the movie De Lift. Also appearing in several scenes (metro car, window washer) is Hans Vandenburg, lead singer of Gruppo Sportivo. more »

When the lady smiles, 
You know it drives me wild 
Her lips are warm and resourceful 
When her fingertips, 
Go drawing circles in the night 
Then the mood is soft and sensual, hu-you 
And I love it, yeah I love it 
It's the answer to all my dreams 
Every time it feels like the earth is shakin' 
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin', 
I hear it shatter

Maybe it's raining, faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm a bettin' on the game of love 
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out 
When the walls no longer shout, back at me
And I'm feelin' proud 

When the lady smiles, 
She holds me in her hand 
As a matter of fact, 
She could always let me down 
But when the lady smiles, 
I can't resist her call 
As a matter of fact, 
I don't resist at all 
Cause I'm walking on clouds 
And she is leadin' the way 

My friends tell me, 
She's the beast inside your paradise 
I guess you've heard it all before 
A fallen angel, 
That has got you hypnotized 
And that always needs some more, hu-you 
And I love it, yeah I love it 
She's done nothin' to mislead me 
Cause every time we meet, 
The earth is shakin' 
It doesn't matter, a glass is fallin'
I hear it shatter , maybe it's rainin'
Faster and faster, shadow dancin'
Together oh I, I'm bettin' on the game of love 
Oh oh oh I, I'm bettin' that love is gonna come out 
When the walls no longer shout, back at mea
And I'm feeling proud 

When the lady smiles, 
She holds me in her hand 
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down 
But when the lady smiles, 
I can't resist her call 
As a matter of fact, 
I don't resist at all 
Cause we're walkin' on clouds 
And she is leadin' the way 

Oh no, oh no, oh no
