Shalamar – Circumstantial Evidence lyrics

Rumor has it in the streets I made a fool out of you.
You said that I'm a lowdown cheat.
I swear that is not true.
You said that I was winking at this lady in the bar,
But there is something in my eyes that made that blinking start.

Ah, really was I wrong to walk that lady to her car,
But I was being courteous.
That's how musicians are.
Surely this is not the fruit you give to the mockingbird,
The fruit that turned your heart away and started all this herd.

My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.
My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.
My poor heart ahs been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.
My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.

They told you I went in the car and kissed her on the cheek.
You said that we both took a ride and stopped at Burger King.
I must admit I'd thought of her to have it my own way.
Instead I told her that my fries ain't going with that change.

Maybe I was wrong to walk that lady to her car,
But I was being courteous.
That's how musicians are.
Surely this is not the fruit you give to the mockingbird,
The fruit that turned your heart away and started all this herd.

My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.
My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.
My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.
My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.

She thought that she had common cold.
I couldn't get away.
And all the things I said and do, she had to make me pay.
All my friends said, "Let her go."
She's not what all to bang.
Now she left me standing cold.
I think I pay my thangs.

Hey Micki, get free! Uh!

Ohhh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
Here we go.
Naw, naw, naw, say no, no, no-o.
Da, da.
Naw, naw, naw, say no, no, no-o.

My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.
My poor heart has been broken ever since,
Ever since the day I found your circumstantial evidence.

Uh-uh, uh-uh, look-a-here, baby, you know me better than that!
I will never walk out on you.
I will never turn my back on you and caught you with another woman.
First of all, I didn't eat at Burger King.
I'm a McDonald's man.
You know I would never do anything to hurt you or embarrass you in front of your friends, honey.
And plus that was my sister's stuff that you found under the seat of my car the other day.
That was my sister's stuff because I was not even in town that day and you know...
As a matter of fact, it was that guy that lives up there on 5th Street because people told me he was creeping around like me.
He didn't even have a BMW that looked like mine, baby, because...
Yeah, that's it! That's it! His car looked just like mine!
He wears his hair like me, had all his earrings and stuff and I would never do that to you.
Yesssss, that's the ticket. That's the ticket right there, you and me.
