I love her but she’s in love with another man
I’ve seen him and I must say I don’t understand
Why she would pick a man like him instead of me
And I think there’s only one thing it could be
He’s got coke so he gets the girl
There’s nothing I can do or say
I can offer her a heart that’s warm
But my love won’t take powdered form
So she won’t give me the time of day
It’s been hard to see my girl with such a thug
When I can’t even get a friendly hug
I’ll never win I guess I must make that admission
All the charm in the world is no match for a chemical addiction
He’s got coke so he gets the girl
And that’s the way it’s gonna be
She doesn’t care who I am
‘Cause she measures love by the gram
And that’s why she’ll never fall for me
I thought I needed charm and good looks and strength of character
All those women’s magazines told me so
But none of that crap got me any closer to winning her
‘Cause all I needed was some blow
You know, you know that’s all I need ’cause she’s a…
Horrible judge. To this character she always flocks
I’ll never get her to break free from her Skinner Box
He’s got the key to the pleasure centers in her brain
That’s why he has got my lover so well trained
He’s got coke so he gets the girl
But I still think that I can win in time
But if I ever get the cash
I’m gonna buy myself a major stash
And then her love will be inspired
And she’ll never get tired
As long as I keep her wired she’ll be mine.
