Out of the Blue

Every one I know has a girl friend Every one except me And that is why for special occasions I don’t like to go by the family Because they will always ask me If she’s out side parking the car And I will always have to make an excuse How she gone to see her mother But inside I wish I had a girlfriend Because my life is so lonely The only thing I have is my poems That is all that keesp me company I been looking for one secretly But finding one is a problem Cause so far no girl’s like me But I can’t really blame them I went shopping for this Christmas Buying gifts all for my self Then come and open my closet And stack them all on a shelf When I walking through Macy’s Upstairs in the Staten Island mall I wish I had a girlfriend with me To take her shopping and buy her all So I’m looking for a girl friend But one is so had to find The last girl I ask out on a date She ask “if she look stupid or blind I once ask a Trinidad girl But she curse me up right away Then she even call the police And I had to run out of Claxton bay Another girl had a flat tire So I help she change it yesterday But when I ask what she doing later She takes out a can of pepper spray Since then I lost my confidence Because I’m really kind of shy So now I stand in the corner watching When I see a nice girl passing by I search the borough of New York Even over the Bayonne in New Jersey I even try some online dating But I struck out miserably So I call and ask my nephew riad To find me a girl in Trinidad He said “boy them women in Trinidad crazy But none of them women eh that mad Sugar boy has a girlfriend in siparia She has a sister living down in penal He tells me send my best picture Then said “boy that girl eh like you at all So this Christmas I have a dilemma And I don’t know what to do All of my friends have girlfriends And I want to have one to But I will keep on trying It’s the only thing I can do And one day out of the blue I will find me a nice girl friend to

You remind me of both Cat Stevens and the late Sam Cooke when they both sang "Another Saturday Night". You can't find a lonely female in one of those five big boroughs? You're not looking hard enough! If you don't succeed in Staten Island, there's always Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. MTA will take you anywhere you wish.
