Met a fine red boned mami |
|
She told me that her name was |
|
LucilleMet her on |
|
Fountain Avenue |
|
Sitting on a |
|
Cadillac Coupe |
|
De VilleShe said, |
|
I'm a liar, a thief, a junkie |
|
And I used to be a whore |
|
And I've been trying to shake this monkey |
|
So long, I just can't take it no more |
|
I got a weakness |
|
I got a hunger, |
|
I got a jones |
|
I'm sick and |
|
I need to get well |
|
I hurt deep in my bone |
|
I got a weakness |
|
I got a fever, |
|
I got a thirst |
|
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble |
|
Just waiting for it to burst |
|
We talked all afternoon |
|
She made me cry, |
|
I told some jokes |
|
She looked me deep in my eyes |
|
And told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax |
|
Her grandmother died when she was five |
|
And she never did know her folks |
|
Her father fell in a gun fight |
|
And her mother by an overdose |
|
I got a weakness |
|
I got a hunger, |
|
I got a jones |
|
I'm sick and |
|
I need to get well |
|
I hurt deep in my bones |
|
I got a weakness |
|
I got a fever, |
|
I got a thirst |
|
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble |
|
Just waiting for it to burst |
|
She said, |
|
I've slept with gangsters |
|
Thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors |
|
I've seen therapists and holy men |
|
But this weakness is my only friend |
|
It feeds my need, it numbs my soul |
|
It starts to creep and take control |
|
I sell my flesh, |
|
I pierce my skin |
|
And tomorrow |
|
I'ma do it all again' |
|
Cause I got a weakness |
|
I got a hunger, |
|
I got a jones |
|
I'm sick and |
|
I need to get well |
|
I hurt deep in my bones |
|
I got a weakness |
|
I got a fever, |
|
I got a thirst |
|
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble |
|
Just waiting for it to burst |
