Lauriann
On a Monday
Not like any other Monday
Lauriann suddenly came
The rhythm of her walk
Like a tom-tom talking
Ain't a boy around her ever been tame
Derek got the deed
That's on the rain check tip
But the friendship slip
And I started with knowing time
Quiet as it's kept
All her friends met death quick
Lauriann asked me
"Honey, what's on your mind?"
Lauriann, can't you understand?
I wanna be your man
Lauriann, can't you understand?
I wanna be your man
Though we may not be together forever
We can live for the time that we are
You're the only one that treats me like I'm human
Not like a superstar
Everybody said "Lauriann was a good girl"
Why, I'll never know (ooh, Lauriann)
She kissed me like she was born to be bad
Those kisses worth more than gold (ooh, Lauriann)
Every now and then
She would pet the dolphin
And I would swear
She was t-t-touching my soul
The bed started shaking (shaking)
Maybe I was nervous
Maybe I was falling in love
Maybe I don't know
Lauriann, can't you understand?
I wanna be your man (I wanna be your man)
Lauriann, can't you understand? (Lauriann)
I wanna be your man
Though we may not be together forever
We can live for the time that we are
You're the only one that treats me like I'm human
Not like a superstar
Lauriann
Holy bells were ringing in St. Louis Park
As two lucky souls said, "I do" (ooh, Lauriann)
One of them souls should've been me, Lauriann
And the other one should've been you (oh)
Lauriann, can't you understand?
I wanna be your man
Lauriann, can't you understand?
I wanna be your man
You're the only one that treats me like I'm human
Not like a superstar
Last I heard, you were looking twice as fine
Twice as fine at the end of the day that we said goodbye
Must have been a man who was never in love
And said that men aren't supposed to cry
Lauriann, can't you understand?
I wanna be your man
Lauriann, can't you understand?
I wanna be your man
Though we may not be together forever (we may not be together forever)
We can live for the time that we are (we can live for the time that we are)
You're the only one that treats me like I'm human
Not like a superstar
Hey, hey, hey, Lauriann
Not like any other Monday
Lauriann suddenly came
The rhythm of her walk
Like a tom-tom talking
Ain't a boy around her ever been tame
Derek got the deed

But the friendship slip
And I started with knowing time
Quiet as it's kept
All her friends met death quick

Hey, hey, hey, Lauriann
