sound familiar?

I was working part time in a five and dime. My boss was Mr. Magee. He
was six foot four and full of muscles and walked like an Egyptian, but I
was happy to be stuck with him. One manic Monday, while I was busy
working for the weekend, I overheard him make a careless whisper. He
told two of my co-workers, Jack and Diane, that I gave love a bad name.
Well, I got so emotional, baby. I told him to say say say what he
wants, but don't play games with my affection. He told me it was hard
for him to say he's sorry and not to worry, to be happy. Then he blamed
it on the rain. He was so out of touch. It just took my breath away.
I couldn't fight this feeling any longer.

I asked him "What's love got to do with it?" He told me to get outta
his store and his dreams and into my car. So I figured I might as well
jump. I cut footloose, went home and called my girl, Jenny. (You
already know the number) She was on the other line with Amanda. They
were talking about Mickey and how he was so fine. That blew my mind! Was
she really going out with him? I told her that I had just called to say
I love her. She told me she had been saving all her love for me, but
now she was looking for a new love. Hasta la vista, baby.

I thought "I can't go for that - no can do! Bring me a higher love!" I
called up some of my old west end girls, hoping that one of them would
want to get physical all night long (all night). First I called Billie
Jean - she told me to beat it. I called Rosanna - her sister Christian
blessed the rains down in Africa and then hung up on me. Come on,
Eileen! ... no answer. Nobody told me there'd be days like these! I
was feeling like the owner of a lonely heart. Then, out of the blue, my
best friend's girlfriend (she used to be mine) Roxanne calls. Yes, the
real Roxanne. She told me she still hadn't found what she's looking for
and that she wanted to take on me.

I said "I thought you were Jessie's girl."

She said "Don't you want me? You don't have to put on the red light -
I'm on my own."

What a feeling! I had the eye of the tiger. Who was I f-f-f-foolin?
Roxanne drove me crazy like no one else. She's a beauty! She blinded me
with science, and weird science at that. There was always something
there to remind me of her and I just knew that I'd have the time of my
life. I wasn't about to la-di-da-di. I jumped in my little red Corvette
and rocked down to Electric Avenue. I got my mind set on her.

When I got to her house (in the middle of her street) I ran. I rapped
on her front door and to this rapper's delight, I heard a voice say "Who
can it be now?"

"Here I am, the one that you love", I replied. I let my love open the
door and was immediately lost in her eyes. I felt like a virgin touched
for the very first time.

She loosened her blouse and said "Rock me Amadeus!"

Well, I felt it was my prerogative to bust a move. I told her "I'll
tumble for ya!" as I pinned her on the stairs, hungry like the wolf.

Just then I felt an invisible touch on my shoulder. "Turn around bright
eyes!" said a familiar voice. As I did, Jessie hit me with a
sledgehammer of an uppercut that spun me right round like a record. He
was hangin' tough and continued to roll with it, knocking the wind from
beneath my wings - broken wings by this time. He rocked me tonight, for
old time's sake, beating me from head to toe, until my true colors were
black and blue and blood was spilling from my mouth like red, red wine.

"You don't owe me money for nothing!" he snarled. At this point I was
livin' on a prayer.

I crawled back to my little red Corvette and drove home thinking about
how my tainted love had cut like a knife - how it seems that every rose,
truly, has its thorn. No longer do I want to know what love is. Love
stinks.
