Sharleena

(album: Playground Psychotics - 1992)

I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying for Sharleena
Don't you know?
I called up all my baby's friends
'N ask'n um
Where she done went
But nobody 'round here seems to know
Where my Sharleena's been
Where my Sharleena's been

I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying for Sharleena
Can't you see?
I called up all my baby's friends
'N ask'n um
Where she done went
(She done went)
Nobody 'round here seems to know
Where my Sharleena's been
Where my Sharleena's been

Ten long years I've been loving her
Ten long years
And I thought deep down in my heart
She was mine
Ten long years I've been loving her
Ten long years
I would call her my baby, and now
I'm always crying
(I'm crying, yes, I'm cryin')

I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me

I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me

Sharleena-leena
Sharleena-leena
Sharleena-leena
Sharleena-leena
I'm crying
Well hear me crying
Hear me crying
(Oh Sharleena!)
Hear me crying
(My Sharleena)
Hear me crying
(I called up all my baby's friends)
Hear me crying
(And ask'n um)
Aaaaah, hear me crying, babe
(Where Sharleena went)
Hear me crying
(But you know that, nobody 'round seems to know)
Sharleena, hear me crying
(Where my baby's gone)
(You know I'm cry-cry-cry-cryin')
For Sharleena
(Don't you know I'm cry-cry-cry-cryin')
For Sharleena
You know I'm crying
(For Sharleena)
Hear me crying
(For Sharleena)
Hear me crying
(You know I'm cry-cry-cry-cryin')
For Sharleena
(You know I'm cry-cry-cry-cryin')
Hear me crying
Hear me crying
For Sharleena
For Sharleena
Sha-la-la-la...
Sha-la-la-la...
Sha-la-la-la...
Sha-la-la-la...

Why doesn't somebody somewhere right here at the Rainbow Theater where Melanie ripped it up last night
Why don't you send her home
Why can't you send my ever loving Sharleena home
(Send my baby home to...)
Why can't you send her home to...
