It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying cause she knew he was gone 2 stay
It was 10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar
Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah

I asked if she wanted 2 dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
And wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified, yeah
And I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified 4 a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

There was 1 September day that papa worked 2 hard
First he crucified every dandelion out in the yard
Then he screamed at baby twice 4 throwin' rocks at passin' cars
Baby didn't listen, so like a priceless work of art
He got snatched by his papa who then opened up the closet door
And pushed the four-year-old down, onto the closet floor
Baby cried I'm sorry, I won't do it no more
Papa said yeah, I know, that's what this here's 4

Smack!
Ooh papa...
Smack! smack!
Ooh papa...papa...
Smack!
Ooh papa...
Smack! smack!
Ooh papa...papa...

As the door closes, baby starts 2 cry
Please don't lock me up again, without a reason why
Papa just went outside and pointed a shotgun up in the sky
He said how come I don't love my woman?
Then he took aim and died

Don't abuse children, or else they turn out like me

Love the one who is love, (love)
the one who gives us the power, (power)
The one who made everything, (what? )
elephants and flowers (what will he do? )
The one who will listen when all others will not.
There will be peace 4 those who love God a lot.

Have u ever been so lonely
That u felt like u were the
Only one in this world?

Have u ever wanted 2 play
With someone so much u'd take
Any one boy or girl?

Anna stesia come 2 me
Talk 2 me, ravish me
Liberate my mind
Tell me what u think of me
Praise me, craze me
Out this space and time

Between white and black, night and day
Black night seemed like the only way...
So I danced

Music late, nothing great
No way 2 differentiate
I took a chance

Gregory looks just like a ghost
And then a beautiful girl the most
Wets her lips 2 say

We could live 4 a little while
If u could just learn 2 smile
U and I could fly away, fly away.

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn 2 love
I mean the right way, I mean the only way
Perhaps u could show me, baby

Welcome to station WEFUNK, better known as We-Funk,
Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection.
Home of the extraterrestrial brothers,
Dealers of funky music.
P.Funk, uncut funk, The Bomb.

Coming to you directly from the Mothership
Top of the Chocolate Milky Way,
500,000 kilowatts of P.Funk-power.
So kick back, dig, while we do it to you in your eardrums.
And me? I'm known as Lollipop Man,
alias the Long-Haired Sucker.
My motto is:

Make my funk the P.Funk
I want my funk uncut
Make my funk the P.Funk
I wants to get funked up.
I want the bomb,
I want the P.Funk

WEFUNK, y'all.
Now this is what I want you all to do:
If you got faults, defects or shortcomings,
You know, like arthritis, rheumatism or migraines,
Whatever part of your body it is,
I want you to lay it on your radio,
let the vibes flow through.
Funk not only moves, it can re-move, dig?
The desired effect is what you get
When you improve your Interplanetary Funksmanship.
Sir Lollipop Man! Chocolate coated, freaky and and habit forming.
Doin' it to you in 3-D,
So groovy that I dig me.
Once upon a time called Now!
Somebody say, "Is there funk after death?"
I say, "Is Seven Up?"

...
Everybody on the block say it is the best
The most vital is what they say - more or less
It put my name upon my thigh
It make me dance, it make me cry
And when I touch it,
racecars burn rubber in my pants (Oh)

This feeling's so good in every single way
I want it morning, noon and night of every day
And if by chance I cannot have it - I can't say
But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away, kiss away

Dig me now
Anyone that's ever touched it,
they don't want nothing else.
No they don't.
And I got 2 tell the world, I just can't keep it 2 myself. (No)
All in life becomes easier,
No question is unresolved and I'm not afraid now.
Come on and touch it, I know U will love it.
With it I know heaven's a butterfly kiss away.
...
(Alright)
2night we make love with only words
Girls first, girls first

OK, so like first
I will start by telling U how smart and
intelligent a curve your behind has.
And then I can tell U that I can just smell U
And racecars burn rubber in my pants.
But I really dig trippin' on the thought of being caught
By somebody with your beauty, style and grace.
Baby, I don't care
I would rip out my hair 4 just 2 nights with your face.
I don't wanna make love 2 U,
I just wanna look at U,
I just wanna listen 2 U, uh, uh.

Oh, pretty little whip, U got me drippin'
Drippin' all over the floor, the floor.
If I come back as a woman,
I want a body like yours, a body like yours.
...
U want me 2 swivel in your love seat
D-don't U, baby?
U want me 2 write my name on your walls
U want me 2 write my name on...

We make love with only words
I'll make love 2 U...2morrow
Sweet dreams

Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater blond, tall and fine
She got a lot of tips

Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff
In a violent room
Fighting with lovers past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast

Well, I ordered -
"Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't 2 hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
Kinda cute, U wanna take a bath?
(do you wanna, do you wanna, bath)
I said "Cool, but I'm leaving my pants on" (she say)
"Cuz I'm kind of going with someone"
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
"Mind if I turn on the radio?"
"Oh, my favorite song" she said
And it was Joni singing "Help me I think I'm falling"
(Ring)
The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"
Right then I knew I was through
(Dorothy Parker was cool)

My pants where wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie
Cuz she hadn't read the book first
Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back
2 the violent room (tell us what U did)
Let me tell U what I did...

I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker

All the poets and the part time singers
always hang inside
Live music from a band plays
a song called soul psychodelicide.
The song's a year long and had been playing for months
When he walked into the place.
No one seemed to care,
an introverted this-is-it look on most of their faces.
Up on the mic repeating 2 words,
over and over again
Was this woman he had never
noticed before he lost himself in the
Articulated manner in which she said them.
These 2 words, a little bit behind the beat.
I mean just enough to turn you on.
For everytime she said the words
another one of his doubts were gone.

Should he try to rap with her?
Should he stand and stare?
No one else was watching her,
she didnt seem to care.
So over and over, she said the words
til he could take no more.
He dragged her from the stage
and together they ran through the back door

In the alley over by the curb
he said tell me whats your name
She only said the words again
and it started to rain, rain, rain, rain.
Two words falling between the drops
and the moans of his condition
Holding someone is truly believing
there's joy in repetition.

Theres joy in repetition.
Theres joy in repetition.
Theres joy in repetition.
Theres joy in repetition.

She say love me, love me.

Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high.
The sea surrounded them and together they would be
The only thing that ever made u cry
U said the devil told u that another mountain would appear
Everytime somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would 1 day overflow with all your tears,
And love will always leave u lonely
