Maxine was 5'9''
|
Had a man, and she didn't mind
|
Walked up to me nice and slow
|
What she wanted
|
I did not know
|
Gave me her pager number
|
And said call her "anytime"
|
Then she whispered in my ear
|
(chorus)
|
She said
|
My body wants you so
|
For what I miss at home
|
Nobody has to know
|
Keep it
|
On the down and low
|
She said
|
My body wants you so
|
For what I miss at home
|
Nobody has to know
|
Keep it
|
On the down and low
|
She says that he
|
Doesn't take her anywhere
|
Used to say sweet things
|
Acts like he doesn't even care
|
He thinks that she's content
|
Cos he buys her cars
|
And he pays her rent
|
But she's not ready to leave
|
She turned and said to me
|
(repeat chorus)
|
Bridge:
|
I wouldn't treat you that way
|
If you were my lady
|
I wouldn't share you
|
You'd be mine and mine alone, oh yeah
|
If he continues wastin' your time
|
Girl, he's crazy
|
I'll take her
|
(Got to get down and low)
|
Maxine looked into my eyes
|
Wanted me to be the other guy
|
Cos tonight she's needin' someone to hold
|
Lonely nights can be, oh, so cold
|
Deprived of all the things
|
She misses, wants, wishes, and needs
|
Got hotter than a hundred an' three
|
She turned and said to me
|
(repeat chorus)
|
(repeat chorus to fade
|
