Innocent
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
A little lady had a vision, it was sublime
She had a bottle in her hand
Of champagne or wine
Then a dream came steaming up
Inside her head
Wasn't nothin' better she could do
With time, I guess
It was a stone cold night
In Brooklyn, of course
A petty mob had just a-robbed a liquor store
Sister Ann had it planned
To come straight home from church
But then those shots rang out
And took the life of her
Another mess, i confess in the windy night
The pale moon, sunset
And the stars were bright
Another rich man dies and it was due to greed
An affair sparks up
And folks get what they need
More money, honey, no it isn't funny
You're diggin' on my style
Like you're diggin' on my money
Another brother loses his mother
Now I'm livin' up today
Like as though there was no other
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
Cinema star and he's thinkin' about
The whole nation with donations
And charity funds
But he can't quite seem to get
Control of his fun
He pumps the cocaine and heroin
Way up his veins
I guess he'd better find a better way
To deal with pain
He takes a lady's Mercedes
And pulls out a gun
I guess he'll take it for a run
Just for a little fun
But then a speed crash causes him
To crash and burn
I guess that death is the only lesson
He will ever learn
Another mess, i confess in the windy night
The pale moon, sunset
And the stars were bright
Another rich man dies and it was due to greed
An affair sparks up
And folks get what they need
More money, honey, no it isn't funny
You're diggin' on my style
Like you're diggin' on my money
Another brother loses his mother
Now I'm livin' up today
Like as though there was no other
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
I know you done felt so much pain
Seen so much rain
Lived so many dark days
It seems some things will never change
Tryin' to survive the story of your life
Takin' one day at a time
Still contemplating suicide
But overall, I can't lie, I still care for you
And every night I go to sleep
I say a prayer for you
I took care of you when you was a little kid
And my only wish is that you stay innocent
But too bad wishes don't come true
Cuz if I had one more wish
I would be there with you
I made a promise to myself to protect you
And for my kid I'd do anything
Just like John Q
And I hope you hear this song
Right after I make it
Cuz I'm expressin' how I love you
And I ain't just sayin' it
You're my pretty little angel
And you know you're the greatest
That's why I shout it out in every song
Since we've been famous
So let's get 'em!
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
And it gets harder
So, daughter, let us pray
And it gets harder
So, daughter, let us pray
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
Tell me, little baby, will you stay innocent?
Plenty of things out there
Sure to make you lose your head
