0:03There's nothing like summer in the city
0:09Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty
0:15There's trouble in the air you can smell it
0:18And Alexander's by himself I'll let him tell it
0:23I hadn't slept in a week
0:24I was weak I was awake
0:26You've never seen a bastard orphan more in need of a break
0:29Longing for Angelica
0:31Missing my wife
0:32That's when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life she said
0:35I know you are a man of honor
0:39I'm so sorry to bother you at home
0:41But I don't know where to go
0:43And I came here all alone
0:47She said
0:47My husband's doin' me wrong
0:50Beatin' me cheatin' me mistreatin' me
0:53Suddenly he's up and gone
0:56I don't have the means to go on
0:59So I offered her a loan
1:00I offered to walk her home she said
1:02You're too kind sir
1:04I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away
1:07She lived a block away she said
1:09This one's mine sir
1:10Then I said well I should head back home
1:13She turned red she led me to her bed
1:15Let her legs spread and said
1:17Stay
1:18Hey
1:19Hey
1:21That's when I began to pray
1:22Lord show me how to say no to this
1:25I don't know how to say no to this
1:28But my God she looks so helpless
1:31And her body's saying hell yes
1:34Whoa
1:35No show me how to say no to this
1:37I don't know how to say no to this
1:40In my mind I'm tryin' to go go go go
1:43Then her mouth is on mine and I don't say
1:46No no say no to this
1:49No no say no to this
1:52No no say no to this
1:55No no say no to this
1:59I wish I could say that was the last time
2:01I said that last time it became a pastime
2:04A month into this endeavor I received a letter
2:07From a Mr James Reynolds even better it said
2:10Dear sir I hope this letter finds you in good health
2:13And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
2:16In the pockets of people like me down on their luck
2:19You see that was my wife who you decided to fuuuu
2:22Uh oh you made the wrong sucker a cuckold
2:24So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled
2:27And hey you can keep seein' my w***e wife
2:30If the price is right if not I'm telling your wife
2:33I hid the letter and I raced to her place
2:36Screamed how could you In her face she said
2:38No sir
2:39Half dressed apologetic a mess she looked pathetic she cried
2:43Please don't go sir
2:45So was your whole story a setup
2:47I don't know about any letter stop crying God dammit get up
2:50I didn't know any better I am ruined
2:52Please don't leave me with him
2:53Helpless I am helpless how could I do this
2:55Just give him what he wants
2:56And you can have me
2:58I don't want you I don't want you
3:00Whatever you want if you pay
3:01You can stay Lord show me how
3:04To say no to this
3:06I don't know how to say no to this
3:09But this situation's helpless helpless
3:12And her body's screaming hell yes
3:15No show me how to say no to this whoa
3:18How can I say no to this
3:21There is nowhere I can go go go go
3:24When her body's on mine I do not say no yes
3:28Say no to this
3:40Say no to this I don't say no to this
3:45There is nowhere I can go go go go
3:48So
3:52Nobody needs to know
