Poor Georgie

Lyrics

I met him in a club hangin out one night
 He said, hello I'm george. hi lyte!
 How's everything goin, huh, how ya doin?
 Hope everything's fine, ooh, and umm
 Can I call you sometime? can I get the digits?
 And the address, so I can come visit?
 I gave him the digits, that wasn't a problem
 Cause if he caused any, I would have to solve them
 Cause george looked good, mmm damn good!
 And if I didn't, some other girl would
 In my mind, I hope for the best
 Convincing myself that this was not a test
 Cause I heard many things about georgie
 Nothing kinky, like no orgies
 I heard he knows how to make love
 Like an angel from the heaven above
 Who was I kidding I'd give him a try
 Cause lyte needs love too and that ain't no lie
 Keep your ears open, hope that you listenin
 Cause I'm about to take you on a george porgie mission
 Can it be I've stayed away too long (2x)
 I gave him the number, I saw it in his eyes
 She gave me the number? hmmm I'm surprised
 Good conversation, over the phone
 He began to come for me whenever I was alone
 George was sweet, so nice and so neat
 With any other guy he didn't have to compete
 George was mature, he made sure
 That he was the only one I'd ever adore
 Girls, have you, ever had a friend
 That you'd get with, every now and then?
 I know for a fact george had a lot of girls
 Spread out from state from state around the world
 As long as he was smart and kept his girls in check
 Made sure I never saw them and showed me respect
 He didn't have to be loyal, like men should be
 I don't care about the other girls, just be good to me!
 But if I ever saw one, that would be the end
 He couldn't kick the storyline that she was just a friend
 The girls I didn't care, fine legs don't lie
 See cause georgie was into making your girls cry
 Kissed the girls and made them cry (4x)
 Kissed the girls and made them cry
 Can it be I've stayed away too long
 Kissed the girls and made them cry
 Kissed the girls and made them cry
 Can it be I've stayed away too long
 Kissed the girls and...
 George was clean, no drugs and such
 But once in a while, he'd drink too much
 Hangin in a club where they play rockers
 Him and his friend, drinkin vodka
 I was lookin for him, and I found him there
 With his clothes messed up and his (fucked) up hair
 I told him he was messin up he wouldn't go far
 He got mad and asked his friend for the keys to the car
 I said, don't drive, use your head
 Drive while you're drunk and you'll kill yourself dead
 We begin to argue, bad words were said
 Then he got kicked out by some longhaired dread
 Ran into the car as if, in a hurry
 He started the car but his vision was blurry
 He didn't care, he drove off into the night
 Riding for miles, without his headlights
 Georgie porgie had too much on his mind
 He was still young yet running out of time
 Last week he took tests as the doctor told him
 George had cancer in his lungs and his colon
 See when he was young, he started smokin
 Paid no attention when he started chokin
 Thoughts flashed through his head, there they stuck
 Till georgie porgie, crashed into a truck
 I wished I woulda told him how I liked him so much
 How he made me feel with the slightest touch
 Now he's gone and I can't tell him nothin
 Wish he was here so I could say somethin
 The story is not to say that I'm in sorrow
 Just to say no one is promise tomorrow
 If you love someone you should say it often
 You never know when they'll be layin in a coffin
 Wake up, it's important that you know that
 No one on earth is promised tomorrow.
 Believe that! and don't think that it can't happen to you
 Kissed the girls and made them cry (2x)
 Can it be I've stayed away too long (4x)
 Kissed the girls and made them cry (2x)
