i cram to understand

i used to be in love with this guy named sam

i don't know why

cause he had the head like that of a clam

but you couldn't tell me nothin

cause sam was number one

cause to me

oh my gosh

he was one in a million

i shoulda knew the consequences right from the start

that he'd use me for my money

and then break my heart

but like a fool in love i fell for his game

but i got mine

so i show no shame

in empire winked his eye

and then he kept walkin

and all of those who live in brooklyn know just what i'm talkin

the roller disco where we all used to go

just to have some fun back in 1981

you know the place

empire boulevard

is where i first saw the nigga

and he tried to play hard

but i knew the deal

cause i knew his brother jerry

and sam

he just broke up with his girlfriend terry

so jerry introduced sam and i that night

he said

hello
