Cherry, Cherry
|
Rozanda was her real name
|
But Cherry was her chosen one
|
Everybody said that she'd soon be dead
|
But Cherry replied "At least I had some fun" (Oh yes)
|
|
Her eyes were like a pool of 24 karat diamonds
|
I was the last in a long line of foolish men who dived in
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Cherry, Cherry
|
I think about U every rising sun
|
Whoa Cherry, Cherry
|
Wherever U are, I hope U're havin' fun (Oh yes)
|
|
Tuesday was my big game
|
North vs. Central in basketball
|
Underneath their long coats
|
Cherry and the girls wore camisoles
|
Every time North would run the hoop
|
Cherry would flash 'em and they would fall
|
But not as hard as I fell
|
When Cherry gave me her number and told me 2 call (U should call me)
|
|
Using all the money her boyfriend Wilbur gave her, she'd buy
|
Anything I wanted, that's why my baby's so fly
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
(Do do do do do)
|
Me and Cherry got married
|
And tried our best 2 keep it on the down low, the down low
|
|
I was combing her hair
|
The day that Wilbur called and cussed her on the phone
|
He beat her up real bad and figured I was gonna leave her
|
Instead I bought a 45 and set out 2 relieve her (Take him out)
|
If he was taken out then he could never harm another
|
No sooner than I got there, I was met by Cherry's mother cryin'
|
|
Cherry, Cherry
|
Every night I ask the Lord why? Oh why?
|
Cherry, Cherry
|
Another victim of a suicide (Why oh why?)
|
Why?
|
|
Cherry, Cherry
|
I think about U every rising sun
|
Whoa Cherry, Cherry
|
Wherever U are, I hope U're havin' fun
|
I hope U're having fun, baby
|
|
Cherry, Cherry
|
I'd give anything 2 kiss U
|
Cherry, Cherry
|
I guess I just miss U
|
