Jude - Rick James
THis is just the basic
this is not the best
Everybody knows that the trouble starts
When you talk all about the rest
First you went to college
And then you got yourself degrees
Then you got some pretty girls to get down on their knees
You took yourself some pictures
And you showed them to your friends
Now you're goijng straight to hell
And that's where your story ends
(more bass)
ah, one of those girls was a friend of mine
I say one of those girls you took
Oh one of those girls didn't want to see her face
On the cover of a dirty book
Oh one of those girls took her life last night
Just in case you had not heard
And everyone knows that the pretty ones go down
Doing it for the work
And don't be fooled,
Don't be flattered.
It's not like you ever mattered.
When the world around is falling down
And every ship's been shattered
Don't be fooled,
Don't be flattered.
It's not like you ever mattered.
Not to me
Oh Rick James was the original Superfreak
Man, you're not so perfect
I say man, you're not a pearl
You're nothing more a man than a little piece of sand
That grew up inside of a girl
I don't go for the novicaine
'Cause I don't like the pins
And I don't fall for the Jesus Freaks
When it seems like they want to win
And don't be fooled,
Don't be flattered.
It's not like you ever mattered.
When the world around is falling down
And every ship's been shattered
Don't be fooled,
Don't be flattered.
It's not like you ever mattered.
Not to me
Aw, Rick James was the original Superfreak
I'm not
looking for an answer
anymore
I'm not looking for a visionary
Help me mother mary I've done my time
I'm closer everyday to a life of crime
The God above us in every way
Y'know He watches all the people die
Killing them is other waste all that time in asking why
time is all we're given
And happiness we seek
it may be the peace within the meek
Or maybe the statement of the freak
And don't be fooled,
Don't be flattered.
It's not like you ever mattered.
When the world around is falling down
And every ship's been shattered
Don't be fooled,
Don't be flattered.
It's not like you ever mattered.
Not to me
Oh Rick James was the original Superfreak
Not to me
Oh Rick James was the original Superfreak
And don't be fooled,
Don't be flattered.
It's not like you ever mattered.
When the world around is falling down
And every ship's been shattered
Don't be fooled,
Don't be flattered.
