David Houston – Baby Baby (I Know Your A Lady), Originally released in 1969, the song represented a first and a last. The last was that it was Houston’s seventh (and final) No. 1 hit on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart; the song spent four weeks atop the chart.
The song was also the first time up-and-coming Nashville songwriter Norro Wilson had one of his compositions hit number one; it was a shared credit with co-writer Alex Harvey. During the next four decades, Wilson would become one of country music’s most prolific songwriters and producers.

David Houston – Baby Baby (I Know Your A Lady) lyrics
Baby hear me callin’ baby come over here and love me
Hold your lovin’ body close to mine
Crazy you’re drivin’ me crazy maybe you don’t mean to
But you never know what’s goin’ on in a woman’s mind
I know you’ve been hurt before
You don’t know what you’re lookin’ for and you’re lonely
If you’ll only let me stay I will kiss the tears away and love you forever
Baby I’m on my knees now baby I know that you’re a lady
But I wanna watch the sun come up with you
Baby hear me callin’ baby come over here and love me
Hold your lovin’ body close to mine
I know that you’re a lady but I wanna watch the sun come up with you
I know that you’re a lady but sometimes a lady needs a little lovin’ to
