Jade

She never did too well with all those formalities
She never got used to all her lovers and their whispers and pleas
She was a city girl never had a need for drivin around
Always had another boy waiting on the other side of town
She said let me guess two years, you lookin like a wise fool
I said hold on honey, I got nothing left to lose
She said I got a lot of turquoise, I'm lookin for a little jade
I said I got that stone wrapped up in the middle of my name

Green like my name, green like my jade
Green like the color of her fine looking gaze
Red on my lips, blood through my veins
Something like the taste of her good-loving ways

Well she didn't mind the chase, she gets her lovin on the road
She had a lotta flames burn out but they're comin back for more
She kept a couple in her pocket when the weather turned bad
All the boys they'd chase what they never could have
I said what's your little secret babe, you got me on my knees
She said hang on tight wear your luck on your sleeve
She said I got a lot of turquoise, I'm lookin for a little jade
I said I got that stone wrapped up in the middle of my name

Green like my name, green like my jade
Green like the color of her fine looking gaze
Red on my lips, blood through my veins
Something like the taste of her good-loving ways

Green like my name, green like my jade
All my loving, fade away
She tore my shirt, stole my name
She filled her pockets for a couple of days
In a couple of ways
With all of my jade

Ooohh Ooohh
Ooohh Ooohh
Ooohh Ooohh
Ooohh Ooohh

Green like my name, green like my jade
Green was the color of her fine looking gaze
