Ode to Clarissa


Lyrics

I knock on your door
I tiptoe on the floor
I hope your daddy ain’t home right now
He warned me once before

You know he warned me once before

I stay up late
So we can keep our date
I love that we don’t get no sleep
So to your window I creep
You know he warned me once before

I’m the one your mamma told ya ‘bout
I’m the one your pappa told ya ‘bout

Now you’re in love
And why shouldn’t you be
I’m everything you’ll never be
You say don’t leave
Baby, I can’t wait
Next time, we share my second base

I’m the one your mamma told ya ‘bout
I’m the one your pappa told ya ‘bout
