Shalamar Lyrics
"Circumstantial Evidence"

Rumor has it in the streets I made a fool 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 I was wrong to walk this lady to her car
But I was being courteous, that's how musicians are
Surely this is not the fruit to give that mockingbird
The fruit that turn your heart away and started all this herd

[Chorus:]
My poor heart's have been broken ever since
Every since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
My poor heart's have been broken ever since
Every since the day I found your circumstantial evidence
(x2)

They told you I went in the car and kissed her on her cheek
You said that we both took a ride and stop to Burger King
I must admit a 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 this lady to her car
But I was just being a flirt, that's how musicians are
Surely this is not the fruit to give that mockingbird
The fruit that turn your heart away and started all this herd

[Repeat Chorus]

[Rap:]
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 say, "Let her go"
She's not what all to bang
Now she left me standing cold
I think I pay my thangs

Ooh, hurts s-so good

Hey Mikki, get free. Uh!

Ohh, ohh..

Here we go
Naw naw naw, say no no no-o
Da, da
Naw naw naw, say no no no-o

[Chorus]

[Spoken outtro:]
Uh-uh, uh-uh. Look-a-here, baby. You know me better than that.
I will never walk out on you. I will never trun my back on you
and cause you with another woman.
First of all, I didn't EAT at Burger King, you know that.
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 that 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 in 5th Street
because people told me that he was creepin' around like me
He didn't even got 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. Yess. That's the ticket,
that's the ticket right there. You and me.
