Cherry, Cherry



Rozanda was her real name

But Cherry was her chosen one

Everybody said that she'd soon be dead

But Cherry replied "At least I had some fun" (Oh yes)



Her eyes were like a pool of 24 karat diamonds

I was the last in a long line of foolish men who dived in



CHORUS:

Cherry, Cherry

I think about U every rising sun

Whoa Cherry, Cherry

Wherever U are, I hope U're havin' fun (Oh yes)



Tuesday was my big game

North vs. Central in basketball

Underneath their long coats

Cherry and the girls wore camisoles

Every time North would run the hoop

Cherry would flash 'em and they would fall

But not as hard as I fell

When Cherry gave me her number and told me 2 call (U should call me)



Using all the money her boyfriend Wilbur gave her, she'd buy

Anything I wanted, that's why my baby's so fly



CHORUS



(Do do do do do)

Me and Cherry got married

And tried our best 2 keep it on the down low, the down low



I was combing her hair

The day that Wilbur called and cussed her on the phone

He beat her up real bad and figured I was gonna leave her

Instead I bought a 45 and set out 2 relieve her (Take him out)

If he was taken out then he could never harm another

No sooner than I got there, I was met by Cherry's mother cryin'



Cherry, Cherry

Every night I ask the Lord why? Oh why?

Cherry, Cherry

Another victim of a suicide (Why oh why?)

Why?



Cherry, Cherry

I think about U every rising sun

Whoa Cherry, Cherry

Wherever U are, I hope U're havin' fun

I hope U're having fun, baby



Cherry, Cherry

I'd give anything 2 kiss U

Cherry, Cherry

I guess I just miss U
