Did I ever tell you about that man who changed my life? |

He had a real deep voice, and white pearly teeth |
| [00:36.342] |
And his shoe was always shining |

Long slender fingers manicured perfectly |
| [00:43.573] |

I dunno, what would they call it |
| [00:49.999] |
Milan or Rome or someplace like that? |
| [00:53.479] |
I knew it wasn't local |
| [00:56.258] |
I said, I got to get next to that |
| [01:00.165] |
I haven't seen him in a long time |
| [01:04.225] |
My man was so fine |

He could get any good girl into trouble |
| [01:12.106] |

| [01:51.523] |
He was fat back cat cool |
| [01:54.300] |
Like a Friday afternoon martini |
