Better Take The El

My Mother warned me about you...
She told me that you were a little wild..
She told me not to be a fool
She said ''Don't get taken in by a big butt
and a smile"

I showered you with money and affection..
and just as soon as my back was turned...
You started off in another direction...
I played with Fire and I got burned.../

So baby,
you better take the el...
or see somebody about a car..
The 'G' Bus may be running..
Hurry,
The corner's not THAT far...
Better take the el..
because baby before we are through...
better catch the Broad street subway..
because this is the end of me and you../

You slept with not one, but two of my homeboys...

Girl ,how could you be so cruel?

That's okay, because I slept with your best friend...

Just to show you that this game can be played by two....
It seems as if we are just wasting each other's time...
acting out this meaningless charade...
We should both just cut our losses...
move on and just call it a day!/

So baby,
you better take the el...
or see somebody about a car..
The 'G' Bus may be running..
Hurry,
The corner's not THAT far...
Better take the el..
because baby before we are through...
better catch the Broad street subway..
because this is the end of me and you../

You better take the el..
because you're not riding with me..
you better catch the trolley
because babe, you and I are history!
It's a crying shame..
you gave in to all of your lusts..

Better go catch that train baby
because between us there is no longer any trust...

"You were the one I trusted..
Never thought you would spread like mustard."
