Cruising


Smokey did his thang

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

There you were beautiful
The promise of love was written on your face
You led me on with untrue kisses
You held me captive in your false embrace
Quicker than I can bat an eye
Since you were telling me goodbye

Oh, just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seem to disappear
Sweetness was only heartaches camouflage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage
(You promised that happiness we'd forever share)
(But all I have are memories of love that was never there)

We use to meet in romantic places
You gave the illusion that your love was real
Now all that's left are lipstick traces
From the kisses you only pretended to feel
And now our meetings you avoid
And so my world you have destroyed

Was gonna hate, but nah Smokey valid that voice alone put him in legend status

He’s been around forever too. I was watching some show and they were playing a song that had to be from the 60’s, that he was singing lead on.
