SHE’S CRAFTY LYRICS

Well, this girl came up to me - she says she's new in town
 But the crew been said they seen her around
 I thought they were right but I didn't want to know
 The girlie was def and she wanted to go
 I think her name is Lucy but they all call Loose
 I think I thought I seen her on eighth and forty-deuce
 The next thing she said, "My place or yours?
 Let's kick some bass behind closed doors!"
 We got into the cab - the cab driver said
 He recognized my girlie from the back of her head
 He said a little something about tip to base
 So I made him stop the cab to get out of the place
 I shouldn't have looked back, man, I'll always regret it
 Something's going on and I'll probably never get it
 She was crying like a baby - stupid dumb
 It's just too bad that girl's a bum
 
 (chorus) She's crafty - she gets around
 She's crafty - she's always down
 She's crafty - she's got a gripe
 She's crafty - and she's just my type
 She's crafty
 
 I spent my last dollar to buy a Sabrett
 When I seen this girl I could never forget
 Now, I like nothing better than a pretty girl smile
 And I haven't seen a smile that pretty in a while
 The girl came up to me, she said she loved the show
 Asked her to come home and she couldn't say no
 We got to the crib - there's Adam and D
 We didn't say a word - they just stared at me
 I said, "I don't know her - I just met her tonight."
 And Adrock started hiding everything in sight
 D pulled me over - said hide your gold
 The girl is crafty like ice is cold
 The girl is crafty - she knows all the moves
 I started playing records - she knew all the grooves
 He thought she was a thief - and D was right
 But I just figured she'd spend the night
 When I woke up late in the afternoon
 She had taken all the things from inside his room
 I found myself naked in the middle of the floor
 She had taken the bed and the chest of drawers
 The mirror, the TV, the new guitar cord
 My remote control and my old skateboard
 She robbed us blind - she took all we owned
 And the boys blamed me for bringing her home
 
 She's crafty, she gets around
 She's crafty, she's always down
 She's crafty, she's got a gripe
 She's crafty and she's just my type
 She's crafty
 
 Uh, yeah
