| When you called my mother’s house
|
| I was wondering what this was about
|
| I was so glad to hear from you
|
| What I’m hearing, I hope it’s not true
|
| And I remember you got your degree
|
| Congratulations, you made history
|
| And you were as fine as can be
|
| How did you become a victim of the streets?
|
| It’s so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
|
| Tryin' to visit ya, baby (Tryin' to visit ya, baby)
|
| Girl, it’s makin' me crazy (Girl, it’s makin' me crazy)
|
| You’re the one that I like
|
| It’s so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
|
| Just to look at ya, baby (Tryin' to see ya, baby)
|
| God gone make it better
|
| When I pulled up to your house
|
| Expecting to see a movie star
|
| Girl, you ran out to my ride
|
| You know, this really hurts me inside
|
| What has this poison done to you?
|
| Has it dealt a bad hand to you?
|
| You know, I started to get sideways
|
| I couldn’t manage to drive away
|
| But I can’t believe my eyes
|
| How much you’ve gone down in size
|
| Whatcha done did to yourself?
|
| The state took the kids
|
| And the man’s in jail
|
| And all of this is killing me
|
| I wanna help you on your feet
|
| But this is not a job for me
|
| You need to find yourself on your knees (hey… hey)
|
| You’re the one that I like (You're the one that I like)
|
| It’s so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
|
| Tryin' to visit ya, baby (Tryin' to visit ya, baby)
|
| Girl, it’s makin' me crazy (Girl, it’s makin' me crazy)
|
| You’re the one that I like
|
| It’s so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
|
| Just to look at ya, baby (Tryin' to see ya, baby)
|
| God gone make it better
|
| You’re the one that I like
|
| It’s so hard for me
|
| Just to look at ya, baby
|
| Girl, it’s makin' me crazy
|
| You’re the one that I like
|
| It’s so hard for me
|
| It’s so hard for me, baby
|
| You’re the one that I like
|
| It’s so hard for me
|
| Please… please
|
| Find yourself on your knees
|
| Fade out |
