[00:03.23] There's nothing like summer in the city
[00:09.02] Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty
[00:14.74] There's trouble in the air, you can smell it
[00:17.75] And Alexander's by himself, I'll let him tell it
[00:23.26] I hadn't slept in a week
[00:24.51] I was weak, I was awake
[00:26.00] You never seen a bastard orphan more in need of a break
[00:29.02] Longing for Angelica
[00:30.61] Missing my wife
[00:32.01] That's when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life, she said
[00:35.28] I know you are a man of honor
[00:38.25] I'm so sorry to bother you at home
[00:41.03] But I don't know where to go, and I came here all alone
[00:46.27] She said
[00:47.29] My husband's doin' me wrong
[00:49.77] Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me
[00:53.03] Suddenly he's up and gone
[00:56.30] I don't have the means to go on
[00:59.01] So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said
[01:02.76] You're too kind, sir
[01:04.31] I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away
[01:06.77] She lived a block away, she said
[01:08.28] This one's mine, sir
[01:10.27] Then I said, well, I should head back home
[01:12.51] She turned red, she led me to her bed
[01:14.81] Let her legs spread and said
[01:16.55] Stay
[01:17.93] Hey
[01:19.15] Hey
[01:21.39] That's when I began to pray
[01:22.39] Lord, show me how to say no to this
[01:25.15] I don't know how to say no to this
[01:28.15] But my God, she looks so helpless
[01:30.93] And her body's saying, hell, yes
[01:33.67] Whoa
[01:34.91] No, show me how to say no to this
[01:36.89] I don't know how to say no to this
[01:39.89] In my mind, I'm tryin' to go (go, go, go)
[01:43.65] Then her mouth is on mine, and I don't say
[01:45.92] No, no (say no to this)
[01:48.91] No, no (say no to this)
[01:51.90] No, no (say no to this)
[01:54.38] No, no (say no to this)
[01:58.66] I wish I could say that was the last time
[02:00.89] I said that last time, it became a pastime
[02:04.15] A month into this endeavor I received a letter
[02:07.18] From a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said
[02:10.18] Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
[02:12.68] And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
[02:15.73] In the pockets of people like me down on their luck
[02:18.68] You see, that was my wife who you decided to (fuuuu)
[02:22.43] Uh oh, you made the wrong sucker a cuckold
[02:24.45] So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled
[02:27.43] And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife
[02:30.17] If the price is right, if not I'm telling your wife
[02:32.94] I hid the letter and I raced to her place
[02:35.43] Screamed how could you in her face, she said
[02:37.68] No, sir
[02:39.19] Half dressed, apologetic, a mess, she looked pathetic, she cried
[02:42.67] Please don't go, sir
[02:44.68] So was your whole story a setup
[02:46.45] I don't know about any letter (stop crying God dammit, get up)
[02:49.69] I didn't know any better (I am ruined)
[02:52.21] Please don't leave me with him helpless (I am helpless how could I do this?)
[02:55.21] Just give him what he wants and you can have me (I don't want you, I don't want you)
[02:57.79] Whatever you want, if you pay
[03:00.51] You can stay (Lord, show me how to say no to this)
[03:05.76] I don't know how to say no to this
[03:08.79] 'Cause the situation's helpless
[03:11.79] And her body's screaming, hell, yes
[03:14.51] No, show me how to say no to this (whoa)
[03:17.77] How can I say no to this
[03:20.77] There is nowhere I can go (go, go, go)
[03:23.75] When her body's on mine I do not say (no) yes
[03:28.27] Say no to this
[03:40.07] Say no to this I don't say no to this
[03:44.55] There is nowhere I can go (go, go, go)
[03:48.56] So?
[03:51.83] Nobody needs to know
