R.D.C. (Opie's Lament)

I used to think the perfect girl was only in my dreams

Until I saw your perfect face upon the movie screen

You seemed to know that I was there

As though from God's design.

And as I cried,

I told myself someday you'd be mine

Rae Dawn Chong, baby, won't you hear my song?

I have loved you for so long,

And I know I can make you love me too.

I write you letters every day.

I send flowers to your home.

But it's difficult to prove my love

When you won't answer the phone.

And looking through binoculars

Makes it really hard to see you

From the camp that I've set up

In your front yard.

Rae Dawn Chong, why won't you hear my song?

What am I doing wrong?

'Cause I can't seem to make you love me too.

And here inside my prison cell

Just lying in my bed

I wonder if you loved me

When I shot you in the head...

Rae Dawn Chong, you only had to hear my song.

I even bought your dad a bong.

And all you had to do was love me.

I gave you every chance to love me.

You stupid bitch, you should have loved me too...
