Here come Big Lu, sweet thang, girl o' mine,
Girl I loved, and left, and lost to another, to late to recover,
Come sidling up, sideways, don't mean nothin' by it
(But you know she does, like I know she does)
Come gentle, up my way, just to say she's comin' 'round
Gonna leave that girl, that no-account young 'un
Just wasn't happenin', that's what Lu sayin’.
Yeah, and she wanna know now how I'm feelin'
And find out (but not too much) about my new doin's
Done missed me so bad, got me stuck in her head
(Ain't asked nothin' serious, just getting a sense of it)
See if I still cry when I lay me in bed, hear I still love her,
Then not say it back, keeps her cards on her chest,
That's all right, big girl. You do how you do.
She ain't asking for nothing, she ain't making plans,
But my plan---ain't seein’ you 'til that one is GONE
Ain't gonna be your secret ol' thrill come-along
(Cuz the look in my eye like to tide you right over)
And not even jus-frenz, if you can't admit it
You ain't gonna git it, no accidents happenin',
No taste-for-a-minute, you big sassy Cracker.
Got 43 days, and I'ma keep counting
I heard Big Lu got that hair cut, got blonder
Got thinner, maybe lost a few pounds, I don't care,
Curiosity ain't taking me anywhere, not where I gotta see her
Til that other one's gone. And I could move on,
Anytime, if she keep her, that's fine, I ain't weepin'
But c'mon girl, I'm waitin', a little bit longer
Have to make me some new choices, come soon
Yeah, I gotta new girl, Lu, you knew that I would
(and I done caught her good, all by accident)
But I ain't makin' promises, ain't makin' good on
no dreams in her head, ain't ready to, yet, kinda holding
In case, my big girl come callin', in case you been fishin'
and dumped off that young 'un and bringin' me sumpin....
Yeah, and Mama been laffin', sayin' do I like apples...
And how do I like them apples now, waiting on Lu like
She used to be waitin', I ain't hatin' on it, I know it's come due
(But we been where we been cuz we needed to go)
And now we know better, and I know for sho' that it's time to get on
No matter how, goin' lovers or friends, however it ends up
That kid gotta go, Lu don't need that no-account youngsta no mo’.

Hey ae,
It looks like your link doesn't work anymore. I tried to listen to this piece and just got a "good-bye" type message from Snapvine. Do you have this saved anywhere else online? I'd love to hear it.
