How did you become a victim of the streets?
You're the one that I like
You're the one that I like
]
When you called my mother's house
I was wondering what this was about
I was so glad to hear from you
What I'm hearing, I hope it's not true
And I remember you got your degree
Congratulations, you made history
And you were as fine as can be
How did you become a victim of the streets?
It's so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
Tryin' to visit ya, baby (Tryin' to visit ya, baby)
Girl, it's makin' me crazy (Girl, it's makin' me crazy)
You're the one that I like
It's so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
Just to look at ya, baby (Tryin' to see ya, baby)
God gone make it better
When I pulled up to your house
Expecting to see a movie star
Girl, you ran out to my ride
You know, this really hurts me inside
What has this poison done to you?
Has it dealt a bad hand to you?
You know, I started to get sideways
I couldn't manage to drive away
But I can't believe my eyes
How much you've gone down in size
Whatcha done did to yourself?
The state took the kids
And the man's in jail
And all of this is killing me
I wanna help you on your feet
But this is not a job for me
You need to find yourself on your knees (hey... hey)
You're the one that I like (You're the one that I like)
It's so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
Tryin' to visit ya, baby (Tryin' to visit ya, baby)
Girl, it's makin' me crazy (Girl, it's makin' me crazy)
You're the one that I like
It's so hard for me (It's so hard for me)
Just to look at ya, baby (Tryin' to see ya, baby)
God gone make it better
You're the one that I like
It's so hard for me
Just to look at ya, baby
Girl, it's makin' me crazy
You're the one that I like
It's so hard for me
It's so hard for me, baby
You're the one that I like
It's so hard for me
Please... please
Find yourself on your knees
