[The Preatures - Cherry Ripe lyrics]
I can see you, Cherry
A case, a black jacket
Never getting straight As
Put you on a stage, now they know your name
But you used to be different, baby
Back in the day
When you only lived for the sell
Said, "I know I’m at my
Best when I’m not myself"
You were nobody then, you were nobody, girl
But, man
You made nothing look like something else
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Put your black eyes on, baby
Let's get started
I can see you, Cherry
Kicked out of the party 'cause
You were on your back
Took three at a time, got you such a bad wrap
Surprised after they did it there
Was anything of you left
Trying to be one of the boys
Pleasing for affection doesn’t give
You much choice you can joke all you like
But I know that voice
I was up on the ceiling looking
Back at you like glass
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Put your black eyes on, baby
Let's get started
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Play that heavy metal, baby, let's get to it
Uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh, uh, uh uh
Uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh
Uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh
Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh, uh uh
I can see you, Cherry
I guess you’re walking home
Four o’clock in the morning
And you’re keeping it right and
You’re keeping it mean
You always put the bitter where
The sugar should've been
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Put your black eyes on, baby
Let's get started
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Play that heavy metal, baby, let's
Get to it, uh, uh, Uh
A case, a black jacket
Never getting straight As
Put you on a stage, now they know your name
But you used to be different, baby
Back in the day
When you only lived for the sell
Said, "I know I’m at my
Best when I’m not myself"
You were nobody then, you were nobody, girl
But, man
You made nothing look like something else
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Put your black eyes on, baby
Let's get started
I can see you, Cherry
Kicked out of the party 'cause
You were on your back
Took three at a time, got you such a bad wrap
Surprised after they did it there
Was anything of you left
Trying to be one of the boys
Pleasing for affection doesn’t give
You much choice you can joke all you like
But I know that voice
I was up on the ceiling looking
Back at you like glass
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Put your black eyes on, baby
Let's get started
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Play that heavy metal, baby, let's get to it
Uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh, uh, uh uh
Uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh
Uh uh, uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh

And you’re keeping it right and

Put your black eyes on, baby
Let's get started
Oh, Cherry Ripe, you’re looking good tonight
Play that heavy metal, baby, let's
Get to it, uh, uh, Uh
