Once Upon A Time (A Man In Jersey City)

Once upon a time yeah There was a man in Jersey City Who lived on a cloud of poetry And he wanted to be pretty so He would pluck girls from the sky He would bring them so damn high And they didn't like that Cause he would always let them down And he'd take them around town But he'd keep messing around Show off the girls that he brought down And they didn't like that, they didn't like that But to be fair he did say Baby, we're just for today Don't get in this love too deep Cause this ain't a love that you can keep That's just the way these things go Sometimes you just got to know When you're fucking with a hoe It's not really personal, babe But don't you know, I really love you? But don't you know, I really love you? But don't you know? I really love you! Baby, that's what all the girls say Don't you know, I really need you? Don't you know, I really need you? Don't you know? I really need you!
