Meryl Streep - The Lady's Improving Lyrics

[DEE DEE]
The lady's improving
So don't give up hope
You'll ask, "Is she perfect?"
My answer is nope!

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
I know what you're doing

[DEE DEE]
Her range needs expanding
Her edges need sanding
But she can become a sure bet!
So I'm begging you sir
Don't give up on her yet

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
You're trying to appeal to the fan in me
Well, it won't work
I'm not a fan anymore

[DEE DEE]
The lady's improving
So much that she gloats
I know you've got standards
Feel free to give notes

There isn't an issue
And that's why I wish you
Could see there's no reason to fret
So I'm bеgging you sir
Don't give up on her yet

[MR. HAWKINS, spoken]
Sеriously, Dee Dee, this is unsettling
It's like a fantasy that I don't want to have

[DEE DEE]
Everybody thinks that I've got some kinks
That I'll never work out
Even you're inclined
To think I'm unrefined

But I promise with some time
That my aptitude will climb
And you'll leave your doubts
And disbeliefs behind!

The lady's improving
Removing all doubt
She has hidden charms
That are sure to come out

You're bound to discover
This book's not her cover
So don't make a move you'll regret!
So I'm begging you sir
No reneging on her

Don't give up on her yet!
