Judy
Lenny Lashley's Gang Of One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Judy let me know
Should I even try?
Are you home alone?
Or with another guy?

Judy can't you see
I've given you my heart?
Will you come and hold me close?
Or watch me fall apart?

I've been waitin' I've been prayin' that we'd get together for so long
Oh please please tell me
Tell me right from wrong

Judy this is me
Puttin' it on the line
If the truth be told
I want you all the time

And I guess that we both know
We could never be
Maybe in another life
Judy, Judy, Judy wait for me

I've been waitin' I've been prayin' that we'd get together for so long
Oh please please tell me
Tell me right from wrong

Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy

Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy

Judy everyday
Judy in the skies
You know that we're in love
So please don't act surprised

And even if it's sin
In Hell, I'll do my time
As long as you are there with me
Judy watch me, Judy watch me burn

I've been waitin' I've been prayin' that we'd get together for so long
Oh please please tell me
Tell me right from wrong

Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy





Oh whoa oh Judy
Oh whoa oh Judy
