She wore a crown, wore out on the uptown
But all her momma ever told her was no good
She gonna run you "round, tear you up, tear you down
And act as if it's all understood
So I said how do you do?
I said how do you do?
Everything I ever gave to you
I gave it just like it was the truth
It's all gone, I can't take it anymore
I wouldn't act like you wanted me to
So I said how do you do?
I said how do you do?
She lost her crown,
known all over downtown
Now everything she does
they call it no good
But I said how do you do?
I said how do you do?
Oh, how you gonna do it to me every time, little girl?
I said how do you do?
So sorry, I didn't want it to end
She asks you when I'm comin' home
Oh, you know I don't know
Side street girl got diamonds in her eyes
She ain't comin' home with you tonight
But all her momma ever told her was no good
She gonna run you "round, tear you up, tear you down
And act as if it's all understood
So I said how do you do?
I said how do you do?
Everything I ever gave to you
I gave it just like it was the truth
It's all gone, I can't take it anymore
I wouldn't act like you wanted me to
So I said how do you do?
I said how do you do?
She lost her crown,
known all over downtown
Now everything she does
they call it no good
But I said how do you do?
I said how do you do?
Oh, how you gonna do it to me every time, little girl?
I said how do you do?
So sorry, I didn't want it to end
She asks you when I'm comin' home
Oh, you know I don't know
