Micheline used to come to our house and knock on our door
My dad would answer and say, "What do you want girl?"
And she'd say, "Can I take a bath with Mark?"
My dad would say, "My son ain't here
Send her home and shut the door and we'd all laugh
And Micheline would walk down the street
Glowing and smiling like she just got Paul McCartney's autograph
Her brain worked a little slower than the others; she wore thick-rimmed glasses
She took a different bus to school than the other kids and was in different kind of classes
When she got older a neighborhood thug moved in with her
And started taking her welfare payments
He took her down to the bank
Helped her withdraw her savings that was put away for her and he went off with it
The cops caught up with him, he did a little time and cut too many years later
He's doing life in a Florida penitentiary with his father, both of them for murder
Micheline, Micheline
Micheline, Micheline
Micheline, Micheline, Micheline
She wanted love like anyone else
Micheline, Micheline, Micheline
She had dreams like anyone else
My friend Brett, my friend Brett, my friend Brett, my friend Brett, he liked to play the guitar
But he had an awkward way of playing barre chords
With two fingers spreading his index and middle fingers really far apart
