Marley Marl - Cocaine lyrics

Now, this is what happened but I wasn't upset See, it all started with this girlie I met I really liked this girl, but she made me sad ‘Cause she almost made me trick off every dime I had Now listen to this story that I have in store ‘Cause it talks about this girl you mighta met before See, I was chillin' at a party, I was out gettin' loose When me and this young lady was first introduced She was lookin' so sweet, a glitter came to my eye They said they'd call s**er if I let her pa** by What I felt inside from that very first night We were a perfect couple ‘cause she made me feel right From that day, all my hopes and dreams were lost The more she came around, the more she started to cost Then she got me to the point, I feel so down Each and every time that she wasn't around Well, lotsa times when she's around, I often sigh ‘Cause she had me in control and I didn't know why I shoulda cut her off, that woulda been smart But I found it really hard for us to part With a heart as cold as mine, I feel that's a shame Every time I turn my back on her, she called my name (Shan) (repeated a bunch of times) I would always regret the first day we met I wanted her so bad, she had me dripping with sweat Every time I came home, she had me tricking my pay And when I told her that I love her, she had nothing to say She drove me so crazy, stone outta my mind She beat me so bad, my rent was months behind I finally see she had me caught in her own little way So I tried to get her back just by staying away But when I used to feel good, she had me singing her chant See, I tried to stay away but I found that I can't I went to see her, copped a plea, why I don't have a friend You do me right, my love, that's why I'm back to see you again All the days that I was gone, I was going through hell My heart was beating so fast, my head started to swell When I was by her side, I felt so secure When I met this young lady, she was nice and pure I don't know what her reaction was on some But when I kissed this girl, my mouth went numb Now, from that point, I should have known But my love for this girl since the day has grown Girls like this are one of a kind She'll free your soul and clear your mind Stay away from this girl, take my advice She's as pure as snow, her heart is cold as ice I was under spell, she had my brain Don't you know by now that her name was c**aine Stay away from this girl if you wanna stay sane She'll pick your pockets and damage your brain Girls like this really ain't no joke She'll only be yours ‘til the day you go broke If you see her on the streets, don't give her a grin ‘Cause it won't be long before she s**s you in So before you have a problem that you can't solve With tricky girls like this, don't you get involved ‘Cause it will be a short time and you will be through There's no tellin' what reaction she could have on you To some, this girl is just a pa**ing phase And she's even made some cold change their ways From doctors, studying the medical books Into big time liars and petty cash crooks She doesn't know when to stop, she'll take things too far You'll be pawning your gold as well as selling your car She'll be your friend, oh me, oh my Up until the day that the well runs dry That's right, you heard just what I said ‘Til the well runs dry or your a** drops dead She'll change your life, you'll say ‘dag-nab-it' She'll just turn out to be another bad habit So please take heed to the things I've said And never let this girl mess with your head Stay away from this girl if you wanna stay sane She'll pick your pockets and damage your brain Girls like this really ain't no joke She'll only be yours ‘til the day you go broke
