I staked out her house for weeks
— this babe had no life —
and one fine day she just appeared.
Man, was I knocked over!
She was stunning.
I stared at her till my eyes were gone.
But seeing her was not enough.
I had to make her acquaintance,
had to chat her up a bit
just to see if I still had the magic.
So back I went to Truth for the low down
and ended up at his place drinking holy wine
to give myself a little more courage.
Well I guess I drank too much.
That stuff gave me visions of a better day,
but it also showed me the ugliness
of my undeniable intention to possess.
Strangely enough, I felt compelled to reveal
the secrets of my heart,
so I told him how much I wanted her.
Now wasn’t that weird?
My buddy Truth thought it was all very amusing,
and he was bored so he came with me this time.
We took a cab uptown,
going in style to make the right impression,
and when Beauty appeared,
when she stepped out on the sidewalk
