First he met Mary, and Mary was delightful// Everything she showed him was insightful//Anything he did with her seemed to be exciting// right down to choir recital and even reading the Bible// See, Mary was a good girl looking for a great man// someone she could grow with, someone who was faithful// And for eight years he stayed so// then one day he met this lady Candy by the pay phone// And dang man, Candy was an angel// we’re talking Snow White fine with a halo, no lie// If Mary was a seven, Candy was a nine// He knew he had to get with her, he knew he had to try// With no denial he knew it’d be a fight world// He knew Mary’d leave him if she seen him with this white girl// So in an attempt to hide his dirt face// he’d only meet Candy at the telly by his work place// And that worked great for the first dates// but then the more he’d see her, the more he’d turn brave// Now he’s having her over when Mary isn’t home// He spends all his time with her, spending all his dough// See Candy’s a gold digger, she likes to party hard// like every night is Marti Gras, she got him lost// Blinded by her beauty and ruthless seduction// he’s barely seeing Mary now, he’s barely seeing double// ‘Cause Candy introduced him to this chick named Crystal// If Candy was a B.B. gun, Crystal was a pistol// Listen, this is where the tale gets frigid// ‘cause Crystal was cold as ice, her methods were menacing// Manipulative as unseen puppet strings// She was tough to beat buddy believe// Got her keys from Candy so she come when she please// It must be her custom to be the one to run things// She like the queen of the bumble bees// ‘Cause Crystal hovers sweets and loves to sting// Now the three of them living together is getting scary// Reminiscing he misses when it was just him and Mary// He wants to leave, wants to forget them// He wants to be free but the lust won’t let him// He wants to leave, wants to forget them// He wants to be free but the lust won’t let him go// It won’t let him go// And now he’s just stuck there, miserable// day in and day out the same old thing, just dealing with Crystal// It was Crystal// If you been used and abused it was Crystal// Misused and abused it was Crystal// Now you thin as a pencil// Missing an income messing with that Crystal//
