[00:09] | Ricky played the flute |
[00:12] | But she never had a use for it |
[00:15] | Miming her part in the school band |
[00:19] | While I took a solo on the saxophone |
[00:22] | And I learned harmony |
[00:25] | But she could dance, she could move |
[00:27] | Like the girls on the TV |
[00:40] | Mum took her to Johnny Young Talent School |
[00:44] | But she quit |
[00:45] | She said that she got scared |
[00:47] | When they made her do the splits |
[00:50] | She tried tap school and blew the teacher away |
[00:55] | But the girls in the class teased her |
[00:57] | Saying she was too chubby |
[01:07] | I remember when she told me |
[01:13] | She cried in shame |
[01:18] | I told her not to worry |
[01:22] | We can do anything |
[01:27] | I told her one day we’d be beautiful |
[01:33] | And maybe we could start a band |
[01:38] | cos I was born to sing |
[01:44] | And she was born to dance |
[01:47] | She was born to dance like the |
[01:50] | Girls on the TV, girls on the TV |
[01:56] | She could always dance better than the |
[02:00] | Girls on the TV, 10am R ‘n’ B |
[02:06] | She could always dance better than me |
[02:18] | She was bullied all day |
[02:22] | And made to feel like a fool |
[02:24] | Mum was born again and decided |
[02:27] | To send her to the Christian school |
[02:30] | On Thursdays her friends |
[02:32] | Would dance in the spirit |
[02:34] | At the school church but Ricky laughed |
[02:36] | And never believed in it |
[02:48] | We moved in with Mum’s first |
[02:51] | Boyfriend after Dad |
[02:54] | He was only 21 and he’d always get mad |
[02:58] | While I hid in my room |
[03:02] | Writing poems after school |
[03:04] | He tried to kiss Ricky |
[03:07] | On the piano stool |
[03:17] | I remember when she told me |
[03:23] | She was on cocaine |
[03:27] | I felt like I didn’t know her |
[03:32] | Or how she got that way |
[03:37] | Now, her lovers are all married |
[03:40] | I wear my wedding ring |
[03:43] | On my right hand |
[03:47] | Maybe we weren’t meant to settle down |
[03:53] | No, I was born to sing |
[03:56] | And she was born to dance like the |
[04:00] | Girls on the TV |
[04:02] | Girls on the TV |
[04:05] | She could always dance better than the |
[04:09] | Girls on the TV, 10am R ‘n’ B |
[04:16] | She could always dance better than the |
