/ I don't want to go home
alone again tonight....
and I've been sittin here in my car thinkin...
I deserve your love girl and this aint right...
I shouldn't be drivin, because I've been
drinkin.../
/Another night alone without you...
just can't be good...
I sat in the bar watching him and
envying him and that's so uncool....
How could I be so misunderstood??/
/Come to think of it...
I've got so many other important things to do...
and one of em is...
getting over you......
but right now, I'm content to sit in my car alone
and ponder my next move...
just ponder...
what I'm gonna do..../
/The rain lightly falls....
I hear the soft pitter patter on the ground...
I hear other people's cell phones goin off...
but mine is empty, without any calls../
/I don't want to go home alone
again tonight..
I could pick up any one of these girls,
but I just wouldn't feel right...
I'd only be using her to get back at you...
I'd just be pretending for however long
that she was really you../
/Teardrop from eye...
rolling down the side of my face...
Watching you and him walk by....
it's a goddamn disgrace-
you know you oughta be with me-
I tried so hard to make you see.../
/Come to Think of it
I've got so many other important things
to do...
and one of them is-
gettin over you...
but right now all I can do is obsess...
and ponder my next move...
all I can do is digrest......
and start planning to get over you./

Saturday Morning 3:00 am
The Phone rings- Jazmine Sullivan singing "Need You bad" is the ring tone playing.
"Hello"
"Mabel...it's me, Clerow."
Click!- Dial Tone.......
3:10 am
Phone rings again.....
"Mabel please, don't hang up...I called to apologize to you."
"It doesn't seem like I'm the one that needs to be apologized to."
"I know I was a little rough...but Cora Beth is the reason we aint together."
"Nah she aint...You not bein able to keep your dick in your pants is the reason we aint together... man...an if you had jus waited, I was gon give you some....but I walk in the peach shed and you got my sister bent over the table..."
"I know...I know I done wrong Mabel, but I'm sorry...I'm sorry....I been sorry since it happened. All I've been doin is thinkin of how I could make it up to you, of how I could be with you... you're all I think about Mabel."
"Awww Clerow....you know I'm seein someone now...why don't you find you someone Clerow?
Wasn't you going with Pastor Struthers wife??"
"That wasn't nothin Mabel....That was a one night thing."
"Well my man is good to me and I'm not gonna cheat on him."
"Well alright Mabel.......uh Mabel?"
"Yes Clerow?"
"What color panties are you wearing?"
"What? Oh now see you know you wrong don't you?"
"Come on now, tell me?"
"The kind you didn't get to see." she said.
"That's cold Mabel." said Clerow.
"I'm hanging up Clerow"
"Nah, don't hang up..."
"Byeeee Clerow..."she cooed.

Clerow's End Game
"Clerow, Ah Caint...Ah caint do what you're asking me to do...She's my sister and we just got to speaking again." said Cora Beth.
"Oh but you can gurl an you gonna...you owe me...if it wasn't for your triflin, hot ass, none of this
would have happened..Ah would still be with Mabel."
"Nobody told you to approach me...I was minding mah business...you the one who came up behind me an started kissing the back of my neck and fondlin my breasts."
"You had em out...you had on that flimsy blouse...that was opened..no bra on...jeans all low, so that your low riders was showin...how could I help it?"
"You was checkin me out like that Clerow?"
"You know you wanted me to...you seduced me...you little tramp" snapped Clerow who grabbed
Cora Beth's arm.....and then got close enough to her that his hot breath was literally scorching
her nose.. He wanted to make sure that she heard him... "And now you're gonna make this right,
you hear?"
"Clerow, you're hurting me." snapped Cora Beth
"You see this nice apartment you in? You like it? he snapped....
"Clerow, ah tole you that I was grateful..."
"Well, you're gonna do like I tell you or you gonna be out on your fat little ass..."
"Clerow, I'm pregnant!"
"Do I look like I give a merry damn? You aint but two months pregnant if that."
"Clerow, how am I supposed to seduce Mabel's man ?? He knows I'm pregnant..." she wailed.
"Seduce him like you seduced me, like you seduced poor departed Manly Jackson, I don't know....just do like you do."snapped Clerow.
"You really love my sister don't you?"
"More -n you'll evah know hooker."
"You don't have to talk to me like that."
"I'll talk to you anyway I want to talk to you and you'll do what I say or I'll-"
"OR YOU'LL WHAT?" came the voice that was all too familiar to them both.
Clerow managed a weak smile and said meekly - "Why Mabel honey...how long you been standing there" ? he asked innocently.
"Long enough to hear everything you been sayin to mah sister. I came over here to see how
her new apartment was doing and the door was opened so I came in...You never was good at
lockin doors Clerow....thas how I caught you two before.. Now take your hands off of my sister."
Clerow meekly obeyed.....but eased over towards a drawer, when he heard a click...He looked
up only to see Mabel brandishing a menacing .38 pistol....
"Oh and Clerow honey, you wasn't thinkin bout pullin no gun on the love of your life was
you now?"
Clerow grinned ,showin all of his teeth- "Oh nah...noooo..what choo talkin bout gurl??"
"Good, cause I wouldn't want to have to put a part down the crease of your hair." she
said with a smile.
"Cora Beth, pack your things, you're coming with me...come on, don't tarry." said Mabel.
They packed and Mabel put the gun back in her purse.....She looked at Clerow with more pity
than anger....
"Even if I had second thoughts about takin you back Clerow...Ah couldn't now ...you're
just not a nice man." she said as she and her sister eased out of the apartment.
Clerow watched them both walk down his block...Two sexy Black women.....lawd today!
Back to the drawing board he thought........and while he was up in his apartment , another woman with a gun stood in the alley beside his apartment...smoking a cigarette and silently
laughing to herself.
"Oh but you can gurl an you gonna...you owe me...if it wasn't for your triflin, hot ass, none of this
would have happened..Ah would still be with Mabel."
"Nobody told you to approach me...I was minding mah business...you the one who came up behind me an started kissing the back of my neck and fondlin my breasts."

Something That You're Goin Through
/ You may think that you want me..
but I know you don't...
you say you can and you will

is the way you don't really feel and how.../
/This is just somethin that you're going through....
"loving me is the wrong move.."

/Check it out
You've got a man at home
who you say ignores you and leaves you alone
and while that's sad, that's something the
two of you have got to work out..
and while right now it looks so attractive-
the feelings are not retro-active..
and baby girl-/
/ this is just something that you're going through
"loving me is the wrong move.."
something kind of funky goin on with you.../
/ I dreamed for awhile that we might
have a little something-
my feelings ran from hot to mild
and now I realize that we have nothing..
you want more than I'm willing to give
to you..
and right now I think it would be wise
if you returned to the man who vowed to
live for you.../
/ Look me in the eye and tell me a lie
girl...
tell me what we both know isn't true...
and while you may think that you do...
I'm really not the man for you...
and baby-/

through.....

Somethin going on with you....

Tender Trap
/No matter how long you live
or how much you see in this old world...
Nothing can confuse a guy more..
than when he meets that certain girl../
/I tracked her movemants like a fox
hunts a rabbit...
I made it my business to learn all of
the young girl's habits..
Made sure my Kenneth Cole sunglasses
hid my face...
so I could blend in at the exact time she'd
be arriving at a certain place../
/ I thought I was laying a tender trap...
but she caught me off guard like a sudden slap...
and like McNulty on the Wire, I thought I was close
to a conclusion...
but I got caught up in my desire , my flame doused
by confusion...
despite cleverness being my claim to fame...
I found that I was playing by the rules
of her game../
/Like Grisham on CSI,
I thought that I...
wrote the book..
but there was more than just one clue
I'd overlook....
She played the game with all the skill of Johnnie Cochran...
I should have seen the writing on the wall and stopped then..../
/I thought that I was laying the players tender trap...
but she caught my heart off guard like the slayers sudden slap...
despite cleverness being my claim to fame...
all the while I was playing by the-
rules of her game./

Sign
/I'm not looking for the Red Sea to part..
I'm just looking for some truth from your heart..
I don't expect to hear people speaking in several different tongues..
but I would like to know that I am the one../
/ You never reveal the truth from your heart..
there are suspicions that I've had from the start..
that while I'm thinking that I might just be the one...
you're really just having a little fun../
/ please don't interupt ...
if I'm wrong..
please just help me clear this up...
then I'm gone...
I'm just looking for some kind of sign...
a sign from you that I'm not wasting my time../
/I don't need to be rescued from the lions den
but I need an emotional rescue..
tell me that I'm more than just your "brother"
or your friend..
I don't need to feel the heat of the burning bush
but I do have a burning question that needs an answer
,so perhaps you need a little push../
/but you hide from me how you really feel...
I never really am sure, just what is the deal..
Am I really the one?
or are you just having fun?/
/Please don't interupt me
I could be wrong...
just clear this matter up
and I'll be gone..
Sometimes a brother just needs a sign...
a sign from you that I'm not just wasting
my time./
