Rick James (Album Version) 歌詞
Rick James (Album Version) - Jude
This is just the basic this is not the best
Everybody knows that the trouble starts when you talk all
About the rest
First you went to college and then you got yourself
Degrees
Then you got some pretty girls to get down on
Their knees
You took yourself some pictures and you showed them to
Your friends
Now you're going straight to hell and that's where your
Story ends
Well one of those girls was a friend of mine I said
One of those ones you took
One of those girls didn't want to see her face
On the cover of a dirty book
One of those girls took her life last night just
In case you had not heard
And everybody knows that the pretty ones go down doing
It for the work
And don't be fooled
Don't be flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
When the world around is falling down and every ship's
Been shattered
Don't be fooled
Don't flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
Not to me
Ah Rick James was the original super freak
Man you're not so perfect I said
Man you're not a pearl
You're nothing more man than a little piece of sand
That grew up inside of a girl
I don't go for the novocain
'Cause I don't like the pain
And I don't fall for the jesus freaks when they
Seem like they want to win
And don't be fooled
Don't be flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
When the world around is falling down and every ship's
Been shattered
Don't be fooled
Don't flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
Not to me
Ah Rick James was the original super freak
I'm not looking for an answer anymore
I'm not looking for a visionary
Help me mother Mary
I've done my time
I'm closer everyday to a life of crime
The god above us and every way he watches all the
People die
Killing them as others waste their time in asking why
But time is all we're given and the happiness we
Seek
It may be the peace within the meek or maybe
The statement of the freak
And don't be fooled
Don't be flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
When the world around is falling down and every ship's
Been shattered
Don't be fooled
Don't flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
Not to me
Ah Rick James was the original super freak
Not to me
Ah Rick James was the original super freak
Don't be fooled
Don't be flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
When the world around is falling down and every ship's
Been shattered
Oh don't be fooled
Don't flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
Not to me
Ah Rick James he was the original he was the super freak
He was the super freak
