Lyrics
Ben Vereen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here's a little story that must be told
Hey, what's going on? Can I talk to you?
Can I talk to you? Oh you need to sit down?
Oh..
I fall in love too easily
I think I fall in love way too fast
I shoulda took a little more time
To really recognize your ugly-ass
When we first went out, I thought you was the bomb
You was kickin all this knowledge on the echos of stuff
You was smart, had intelligence and a bomb booty
Told you how I felt and you start to act snoody
Why'd you have to go and date all my friends?
Talk about you when I go and kick it with them
You spoiled everything, made me cold to the soul
I really think I loved you, let the story be told
Girl I hate you, so much
I wish you were never born
Silly girl, you broke me
My heart's all ripped and torn
I want a girl that likes to read in the bed
And likes to watch TV drinkin coffee in the spread
Yeah, that's my type of girl fa sho'
Huh, I don't wanna chase you no mo'
You a mean little woman but yo sho' is fine
The type of girl that makes a brother lose his mind
Give away all his money, tryin to taste a little honey
And you know what you're doin, girl this stuff ain't funny
Everytime you laugh it's like a knife in my heart
You question these dudes' girls right from the start
Heh, you gon' make me date a FUGLY girl
But she know how to cook, make me rule the world
Yeah.. Yes you
Guys! (huh?) Get over here!
Sing
Why you gotta be so low?
Why you gotta act so mean?
You're such a pretty girl on the outside
But your inside's Ben Vereen
Why you gotta be so low?
Why you gotta act so mean?
You're such a pretty girl on the outside
But your inside's Ben Vereen
Why you gotta be so low?
Why you gotta act so mean?
You're such a fine girl on the outside
But your inside's a ugly scene
Why you gotta be so low?
Why you gotta act so mean?
You're such a pretty girl on the outside
But your inside's a (black demon that ain't free)
