Lauriann

[Intro]

Do-do-doo, do-do-doo, do-do-do-do-doo

Do-do-doo, do-do-doo, do-do-do-do-doo

[Verse 1]

On a Monday

Not like any other Monday

Lauriann suddenly came

The rhythm of her walk

Like a tom-tom talkin'

Ain't a boy around her ever been tame

[Verse 2]

Derek got the deed

That's on the raincheck tip

But the friendship slip

And I started with knowing time

As quiet as it's kept

All her friends met death quick

Lauriann asked me "Honey, what's on your mind?"

[Chorus]

Lauriann, can't you understand?

I wanna be your man

Lauriann, can't you understand?

I wanna be your man

[Post-Chorus]

Though we may not be together forever

We can live for the time that we are

You're the only one that treats me like I'm human

Not like a superstar

[Verse 3]

Everybody said Lauriann was a good girl

Why? I'll never know (Oh, Lauriann)

She kissed me like she was born to be bad

Those kisses worth more than gold (Oh, Lauriann)

[Verse 4]

Every now and then she would pet the dolphin

And I would swear she was t-t-touching my soul

The bed started shaking (Shaking)

Maybe I was nervous

Maybe I was falling in love

Maybe I don't know

[Chorus]

Lauriann, can't you understand? (Ooh-wee-ooh)

I wanna be your man (I wanna be your man)

Lauriann, can't you understand? (Lauriann)

I wanna be your man

[Post-Chorus]

Though we may not be together forever

We can live for the time that we are

You're the only one that treats me like I'm human

Not like a superstar (Oh-ooh)

[Interlude]

Lauriann

[Verse 5]

Holy bells were ringin' in St. Louis park

As 2 lucky souls said "I do" (Ooh, Lauriann)

One of them souls shoulda been me, Lauriann

And the other one shoulda been you (Ooh)

[Chorus]

Lauriann, can't you understand?

I wanna be your man

Lauriann, can't you understand?

I wanna be your man (Ahh)

[Post-Chorus]

You're the only one that treats me like I'm human

Not like a superstar

[Bridge]

Last I heard you were lookin' twice as fine

Twice as fine at the end of the day that we said goodbye

Must have been a man who was never in love

And said that men aren't supposed to cry

[Chorus]

Lauriann, can't you understand?

I wanna be your man

Lauriann, can't you understand?

I wanna be your man

[Post-Chorus]

Though we may not be together forever (Though we may not be together forever)

We can live for the time that we are (We can live for the time that we are)

You're the only one that treats me like I'm human

Not like a superstar

[Outro]

Hey, hey, hey

Lauriann (Wee-ooh)
