Charyse

What the hell happened to me? Forget about everything you heard It’s such a sickening scene Comin’ back to this, Charyse If we get picked up by police You’ll tell me I’m your one and only ‘Cause there’s a mark on my cheek And you put kisses on my neck And said we don’t have to speak I don’t expect a single thing But now my patience is cheap I’ll give anything to not be lonely Say Charyse, I couldn’t take it Couldn’t stand, stand to see you Sleepin’ out on the street No, I couldn’t leave ya Couldn’t leave you lying like you’re dead On the cold concrete Goin’ to the South Side Wait at the station And wake up in a stranger’s seat It doesn’t matter to me You never did it for me No, Charyse, Charyse Now you’re takin’ off your shirt And wrap the baby in a sheet It’s such a desperate thing Between your elbow and your fingers And on the back of your knees The symbol of the resurrection Say Charyse, I couldn’t take it Couldn’t stand just to see you Sleepin’ out on the street No, I couldn’t leave ya Couldn’t leave you lying like you’re dead On the cold concrete Goin’ to the South Side Wait at the station And wake up in a stranger’s seat It doesn’t matter to me You never did it for me No, Charyse, Charyse I saw this thing on TV About these kids in California Who ended up with HIV They didn’t have any family It scared the shit outta me I’m still thinkin’ about it six months later Oh, you got a gorgeous face, babe I only wanted to get close You always push me away You said you wanna fix it up Well, that’s way too late So just please don’t do me any favors Say Charyse, I couldn’t take it Couldn’t stand, stand to see you Sleepin’ out on the street No, I couldn’t leave ya Couldn’t leave you lying like you’re dead On the cold concrete Goin’ to the South Side Wait at the station And wake up in some stranger’s seat You never did it for me It doesn’t matter to me No, Charyse, Charyse
