Lyrics
A fool for love He knew that his heart was healin' He'd been hurt too much To try again But when she caught his eye ain't no man could fight the feelin' He knew he had to try To let love in Smiled and let him know, She was in the mood for talkin' So then he began To play the game Before he knew it he Had told her how much he'd been hurting How he was hoping she was not the same "Could you be, ... The kind of lady that I'm seeking? After all of this time could this be true love?" And she said "Boy you don't have to look no more. I'll give the... Love you need till ya' holler enough Guranteed" "Not like the rest boy I'm a... Kind Lady You've been hurt but be sure, boy I am the cure And when you wake up late thinkin' it's a dream Just ask me boy you know you can count on me Believe me" Baby, this Lady You know what you found in me Is a lady, Kind o'Lady That can give you what you need Baby, a Kind Lady That will never leave you lonely And just maybe, this Lady Finally, you found me your Kind Lady

Song Production Information
Sota "OKUYATOS" Fujimori
To D.D.R. fans across Japan, hello. I'm Sota Fujimori, and this is my second time participating in the D.D.R. series. I consciously tried to make this song, Kind Lady, as disco house, but did you love it? This song also uses a similar bassline as my previous favorite song, but anyways, the lyrics are nice. It's a secret that a certain boy ended up being attracted to a gentle girl, but she actually exists, and her name (in kanji) translates into English as Kind Lady. Actually, this was the first person I loved in my life...... anyways, she's a gentle girl. When I couldn't come up with many things such as the song title, artist name, and lyrics, I dreamed about her one day and came up with this idea. I wonder what she's doing now...... I somehow ended up remembering this and made such song. By all means, please listen to this song while looking at the lyrics card. Well then, I look forward to the day I can see you again. Bye (^^)
My Kind Lady, whose incredible love and support is the reason this song exists.
Liner Notes
This is a smart and stylish dance pop song that could play in stylish clubs. The bitter melody with a soulful taste, and the female vocalist's carrying voice, brings out each of their charms without feeling too assertive. The added phrase after the chorus, "Kind Lady, Kind Lady......", is also delightful. Since it's a medium tempo song, it's extremely easy to dance to. If you're an adult who isn't good at intense dancing, why not try and choose this number?
