Once again, back is the incredible the rhyme animal the incredible D, Public Enemy Number One "Five-O" said, "Freeze!" and I got numb Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun? But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records, they sell 'Cause a brother like me said, "Well... ...Frarrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to what he can say to you, what you ought to do." Follow for now, power of the people, say, "Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical" Black is back, all in, we're gonna win Check it out, yeah y'all c'mon, here we go again

Me and my Annette, we was as fond as we could be We was set to marry in October 33 I set my sights on courtin’ her, as fine as she could be I never ever noticed her best friend Marilee Took a job at the saw mill and I bought my girl a ring, Had a pre-wedding party, close friends and family Everything was fine, eatin’ homemade ice cream I swear I never noticed maid of honor, Marilee
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the alter.(2x)
Marilee was taken ill, it was several miles from home Back then it wasn’t fittin’ for a girl to leave alone Sweet Annette, she asked me to walk her to the door As innocent as children back before the war
My Sweet Annette was left standing at the alter. (2x)
Lord have mercy for what we done, Lord have mercy when to people get alone Neither one of us had done anything like that you see By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee. (3x)
Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me Then came the dawn And you were gone You were gone, gone, gone I had too much to dream last night Too much to dream I'm not ready to face the light I had too much to dream Last night Last night
The room was empty as I staggered from my bed I could not bear the image racing through my head You were so real that I could feel your eagerness And when you raised your lips for me to kiss Came the dawn And you were gone You were gone, gone, gone
[repeat chorus 2X]
Oh, too much to dream Oh, too much to dream Too much to dream last night Oh, too much to dream [repeat to fade]
Why do you come here ? And why do you hang around ? I'm so sorry I'm so sorry
Why do you come here When you know it makes things hard for me ? When you know, oh Why do you come ? Why do you telephone ? (Hmm...) And why send me silly notes ? I'm so sorry I'm so sorry
Why do you come here When you know it makes things hard for me ? When you know, oh Why do you come ? You had to sneak into my room 'just' to read my diary "It was just to see, just to see" (All the things you knew I'd written about you...) Oh, so many illustrations Oh, but I'm so very sickened Oh, I am so sickened now
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay It was a good lay, good lay It was a good lay, good lay Oh It was a good lay, good lay It was a good lay, good lay Oh, it was a good lay, good lay Oh Oh, it was a good lay It was a good lay Oh, a good lay Oh, it was a good lay Good lay, good lay Oh It was a good lay
