Taking It To the Stree
TAKING IT TO THE HEAT
I recommended that she leave before the discord
Now she’s boarding the same ship I’m about to board
The water and it’s waves may be rough
But being that lady’s lover is way too tough
The woman doesn’t understand I’m setting her free
She should scramble through the brambles to flee from me
Arid is the desert that used to be my heart
But she came along so the ship could set another chart
I can’t scream loud enough when taking it to the street
People stare but no longer care because they can’t stand the heat
And when the lady heats up she almost bursts into flames
She’s an oven and singed many men, or so the lady claims
I tried ranting, raving, running, regretting and just letting go
It’s torrid living with the lady, and that she’s got to know
Her beauty is faint when you remove the paint from her lips and the rouge from her cheek
And now, because she came a long, the ship has a rapid leak
