I love her but she’s in love with another man,

I’ve seen him and I must say I don’t understand,

 Why she would pick a man like him instead of me,

And I think there’s only one thing it could be.

He’s got coke so he gets the girl,

There’s nothing I can do or say.

 I can offer her a heart that’s warm,

 But my love won’t take powdered form,

So she won’t give me the time of day.

It’s been hard to see my girl with such a thug,

When I can’t even get a friendly hug.

I’ll never win I guess I must make that admission,

All the charm in the world is no match for a chemical addiction.

He’s got coke so he gets the girl,

And that’s the way it’s gonna be.

She doesn’t care who I am,

 ‘Cause she measures love by the gram,

 And that’s why she’ll never fall for me.

 I thought I needed charm and good looks and strength of character,

 All those women’s magazines told me so.

 But none of that crap got me any closer to winning her,

 ‘Cause all I needed was some blow,

You know, you know that’s all I need ’cause she’s a

,

Horrible judge. To this character she always flocks,

I’ll never get her to break free from her Skinner Box.

He’s got the key to the pleasure centers in her brain,

That’s why he has got my lover so well trained.

He’s got coke so he gets the girl,

But I still think that I can win in time.

 Cause if I ever get the cash,

 I’m gonna buy myself a major stash,

 And then her love will be inspired,

 And she’ll never get tired,

 As long as I keep her wired she’ll be mine.
