Cherry, Cherry 

Rozanda was her real name 
But Cherry was her chosen one 
Everybody said that she'd soon be dead 
But Cherry replied "At least I had some fun" (Oh yes) 

Her eyes were like a pool of 24 karat diamonds 
I was the last in a long line of foolish men who dived in 

CHORUS: 
Cherry, Cherry 
I think about you every rising sun 
Whoa Cherry, Cherry 
Wherever you are, I hope you're havin' fun (Oh yes) 

Tuesday was my big game 
North vs. Central in basketball 
Underneath their long coats 
Cherry and the girls wore camisoles 
Every time North would run the hoop 
Cherry would flash 'em and they would fall 
But not as hard as I fell 
When Cherry gave me her number and told me 2 call (U should call me) 

Using all the money her boyfriend Wilbur gave her, she'd buy 
Anything I wanted, that's why my baby's so fly 

CHORUS 

(Do do do do do) 
Me and Cherry got married 
And tried our best 2 keep it on the down low, the down low 

I was combing her hair 
The day that Wilbur called and cussed her on the phone 
He beat her up real bad and figured I was gonna leave her 
Instead I bought a 45 and set out 2 relieve her (Take him out) 
If he was taken out then he could never harm another 
No sooner than I got there, I was met by Cherry's mother cryin' 

Cherry, Cherry 
Every night I ask the Lord why? Oh why? 
Cherry, Cherry 
Another victim of a suicide (Why oh why?) 
Why? 

Cherry, Cherry 
I think about you every rising sun 
Whoa Cherry, Cherry 
Wherever you are, I hope you're havin' fun 
I hope you're having fun, baby 

Cherry, Cherry 
I'd give anything 2 kiss you 
Cherry, Cherry 
I guess I just miss you 
Cherry
