  • Like someone said who cant love this song, I hope one day to have someone feel this way about me. No matter how old there is still hope.

  • my ex boyfriend used to sing this song to me. He is married now but i still miss him so much. He was the one for him and i have tried with other guys but nothing comes close to what i felt for him. When im sad, like today, i think alot about him. I miss him so much. In the past year we have talked twice, when my dad passed on i called him and he called me 4 months later just to check on me.

  • This one take me way back.... and oooohhh what a great song and great memories !

  • WOOOWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sublime, pero si te la dedican, aún más

  • This song wasnt written...... it was created to stand in testament to all songs before and after and will never be surpassed. Its strange to think that now in 2011 the artists of today think they are song writers. NEVER, crawl back under your rock in shame.

  • Nice long version

  • i came here because of newman

  • AWESOME!!

  • I remember being in Jr. high school and the guy I then started dating sang this song to me as we were JR. High School students but for a guy to be so mature and ahead of his time to FEEL this song with REAL meaning to even sing this song to me was a BLESSING! He dedicated this song to both my grandmother and I and they've both since then have passed but he was one of kind and my grand ALWAYS felt we should be together. GOD had other plans but this song embodies him as a person.

  • My mother was...3 times, a Lady! I love you MOM... God rest, your beautiful soul.

  • My mother was...3 times, a Lady! I love you MOM... God rest yuor beautiful soul.

  • This lovely ballad is a clear indication of the richness and substance that is the hallmark of Commodores music. I love the way the mellow flow engages the spirit and builds into a crescendo, and mellows again. Soul satisfyer I said.

  • Comment removed

  • I dont think there is another song in the world that can make you feel equally happy and sad as this one does. absolutely amazing.

  • Andreja, i love you!!!!

  • 1st trip as a Junior Engineer on the Burmah Endeavour, sailed to the Netherland's Antillies, and met Gladys, memories and associations, why do we remember what we remember?

  • I dont have enough words to describe how powerful this song affects me. from beginning to (especially) the very end. never heard a song that can make you feel so happy, and yet so sad at the same time. i could listen to this song everyday, and it would be like listening to it for the first time.

  • I HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG AT LEAST 5TIMES A DAY! IT MAKES ME SOOO HAPPY BUT, IT MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME. MY FAVORITE PART IS FROM 5:40 TO 6:12....THANKS

  • When this song came out my father gave my mother a cigarette lighter engraved simply with the title of this song.....I think was about 7 or 8 years old, and I thought it was the most romantic thing I had ever seen him do for her.

  • @joliethinks I was wonderin' if she's still a smoker, or has she quit?

  • @DaveWollenberg ~~~she quit when I had my oldest son

  • @joliethinks that's awesome!

  • How I yearn for this song?Today I watced the very popular movie 'An Affair to Remember'. After that I listened to the same title song.Just then I saw Grace Kelly in this site. I listened to this song when I was a high school student. Deborah Kerr is so beautiful.But my favorite actress is Grace Kelly. Cary Grant is so cool.

  • Thanx for postin' Lionel Richie's masterpiece. Billboard's 487th #1 hit of the rock era. God bless! Hugs to you.

  • I'm pretty sure it doesn't belong to "Thank God its Friday".

    I've got the triple LP (in fact 2 LP's + 1 maxisingle of D. summer).

    "Too Hot Ta Trot" is the only Commodores song I remember in it.

  • A real masterpiece!

  • Their is not another woman in the world that could take the place of the woman God has put in my life i Love her so much we have been Married for 23 years and would not trade it for anything in the World.I am ready for 23 more.

  • @KarinMikazuki What do you mean how did that happen, ? Mummy and Daddy did sex and then 9 months later I was born, simple.

  • @KarinMikazuki well for one u dont talk like that and call them niggers u pathetic waste of space.

  • @KarinMikazuki you fucking bitch the only tune that comes out of ur mouth is shit you useless fucktard.

  • @KarinMikazuki the fact of the matter is that you are a bitch and deserve to be slaughtered with your face punched in, bitch cunt whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @KarinMikazuki Youa re so ignorant and racist.

  • First song I ever slow danced to. What I wouldn't give to dance with that girl one more time, but that was over 30 years ago. Some memories just won't die!!!!

  • @Owlman61 I know, I know exactly what you mean there, brother!

  • Great song

  • It has been a very long time since I have heard this song. It sure does bring back some good memories.

  • how could i ever forget this song? every time i hear this, it reminds me of someone whom i loved and lost and found and gone again......

  • Brilliant a real slow song to fall in love with you lady

  • such goof melody, good jobs Commodores.

  • Went to wee the Commodores at Madison Square Garden years ago. They sang this but they brought down the house with "Lady". One of my fondest memories of any concert I've been to.

  • this one is for you Eddie from the bronx Tom MacCann shoes store one of your old friend from long time ago

  • Hi, Amorcito, te extrano tanto, espero te sientas mejor Baby, I need you so much...

    Estos son los momentos dificiles, cuando quisiera saber de ti y estoy atada, Well, espero porque el verdadero amor es por el que uno lucha, y nunca se cansa de esperar, porque al final es el mas original. I love you tesoro con mi alma. Besitos ricos amor. Thank you for this song.

  • thank you for posting this song up...i'ts beautiful.

  • thanks love the song very much

  • A timeless classic, many a heart broken, many hearts enlightened but most of all this song captures the essence in us all, the essence of love.

    Thx for posting the vid, a version I've never heard before

  • Thanks sandfordway... for sharing a wonderful song with wonderful memories!: )

  • There is also a version that lasts 4:59 on a promo 45 (says the "long" version on the promo, but I guess I'll have to call it the "medium" version after this cut.

  • Any body have the lyrics??

  • @Irah17 Thanks for the times that you've given me. The memories are all in my mind. And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow, There's something I must say out loud. You're once, twice, three times a lady, And I love you. Yes, your once, twice, three times a lady, And I love you. I love you. When we are together the moments I cherish, With every beat of my heart. To touch you, to hold you, to feel you, to need you. There's nothing to keep us apart.
  • @Irah17

    You're once, twice, three times a lady,

    And I love you.

    Yes, your once, twice, three times a lady,

    And I love you!

    I love you.

    You've shared my dreams, my joys, my pains.

    You've made my life worth living for.

    And if I had to live my life over again,

    I'd spend each and every moment with you.

  • This a beautiful song.The people of today don't know much about the beautiful music such as this.

  • This is truly a memorial to a"LADY" who loves us now;or to one we let get away!

  • ...Symphonic Majesty...

  • Awwwww, who wants to slow dance with me??? Great song♫

  • i dedicate this song to a special friend Eddie Velasco from the Bronx. work at Tom MC Cann shoes store

  • Comment removed

  • Cont'd - She raised 5 kids by herself and we were never hungry or unclothed. She'd been working since she was 11 or 12 and the most she ever made was $7.??/Hr. She died at 67. We don't know how she did it! We thought we were rich or somewhat well-off. She never laid up with different men and the one or 2 she did date after the divorce. NEVER went past the living room. NOW, THAT'S A REAL MOM! Miss you mom...see you on the other side!

  • @LikeTotallyTUBEular I know that you wrote this comment a while ago but hold onto what good memories you have of your mother you can rest assured that she loved you more than she loved herself. I felt sad reading your comment I almost wanted to cry for you. Stay strong.

  • This is the saddest song for me! My mother died Sept/2007 and everytime I hear this song, I cry. The words mean so much to me, for although we didn't get along all time, I miss her dearly. I would do anything to have another argument or disagreement with her, only this time, I wouldn't hang the phone up, I would agree with her, right or wrong. I'd do anything to see her one more time, so I can tell her how much I did love and miss her. I'm actually crying typing this!

  • @LikeTotallyTUBEular I feel real genuine pain for you and just wanted to tell you how i have found real genuine comfort in the hope i will see my dead loved ones again. For 2 years i have been a Jehovahs Witness and for many years dodged and avoided them when they called at my door, but i can honestly say with all my heart to you, please listen to them next time they call, ask them the questions on your heart and see for yourself what i saw and have now found. Thankyou for reading this

  • @LikeTotallyTUBEular Sorry for your loss. I've lost my Mom back in '81 and I can about imagine you crying while typing. I got misty eyed just reading your post, thinking of MY Mom!!!

  • @LikeTotallyTUBEular I also lost my mother in August of 2007. I would have never associated this song with that. I am finding it hard not to now. ; )

  • @LikeTotallyTUBEular i so understand, I miss my mom so much too. This song makes me cry also. My dear mom went home may 27 2005. We went to dinner May 22 for my birthday wich was the 23, little did I know she would be gone 5 days later. I feel your pain. Im crying to typing this. Bless you for loving your mom and bless her for being a lady three times.

  • @stashnut73 respect to you. peace man

  • @LikeTotallyTUBEular its okay. we all have to go thru hurt in our lives. Sometimes we think why but if we spend some time thinking there's no avoiding pain. your mom if she's watching you she'll know how you feel and she'll be happy. I feel sad reading your comment but I go through hurt too it's a part of life.

  • @LikeTotallyTUBEular I can only imagine the sadness and loneliness you feel. I'm sorry.

  • @LikeTotallyTUBEular I lost my mum in Feb/2010 and I too am almost brought to tears when I hear this song,All I can say is it gets better day by day,I too would love another argument with mum...its hard when your 17 and stuborn and never on the same page as mum...but even harder when you can't tell her your sorry for all the silly little fights we had because she was just looking out for me and tell her how much you love her. Keep your head up because your mom wouldnt want to see you hurtin'.

  • @TheOfficerBell i wish all the peace and happiness in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Quante volte ho sognato...!

  • yo mama! bifch!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanx. sanfordway, for postin' the full album version. Never heard in full on radio anymore. Hit #1 soul, pop, and  AC in Billboard. God bless!

  • Jocie, Sorry I could not stop drinking. But we had fun!! Room 150 at Millwood Hospital stays on my mind. Sober today....But bored.

  • If I can only jump time I would be back there in a heart beat

  • this is a amazing time this was on when i asked out my girl friend out such a good song it better then all of this stuff today

  • They really don't make many songs like this anymore. These were the good old days. These songs bring us back to another place and time. Some good, some not so good, but we still get by day to day. Thanks Sandfordway for sharing such great music.

  • Once..Twice...Three times a lady

  • This is a fantastic slow song...Reminds me of Jr High and High School dances...They just DON'T make great songs like this anymore...

  • All I can say is GREAT MUSIC--Thank you, Commodores!!!

  • Sorry... I meant "want" instead of "wand".

    I beg your pardon.

  • Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of my mother. Today marks 20 years since she passed. RIP Irmalee Bates (1931-1990)

  • @belladeballe sorry to hear your loss :/ made my heart sink. ever need a talk just give me a messege :) ill help with anything i can x

  • My dear Belladeballe,

    I am sure that your holy mommy is in a very good place, surrounded by angels and whatever she'd wand and like.

    God bless you too for your love for your holy mommy.

    Mine just completed 88 and is in bed since last november (2009), being fed by a hose (from the nose to the intestine).

    Not that was enough, I lost my holy daddy in May last year.

    My very best friend.

    I know what you feel.

    God bless you.

  • If im not mistaken this version was a part of the soundtrack of the movie "Thank God its Friday", i maybe wrong tho...

  • You may well be right. I got this track from a UK compilation that came out about 10 years ago.

  • Thanks then, for posting this wonderful song..

  • @quackdr I think the songs from TGIF were Brick House and Easy. The former is when Nicole Sims (Donna Summer) went into the booth to try to sing at the show but the DJ (the late Ray Vitte) said no and Donna left the booth and came back later disguised as a waitress.
