Analysis of I SAW HER WALKING
Cornell G. Mack 1955 (Washington DC)
I was riding down the street
one day and I saw her walking BY
She was looking so damn good
that's how she caught my EYE
I pulled over and asked her if she was OKAY
she said kinda sorta, but boy what a DAY
she said she was on her way to an interview
so I asked her again did she need a RIDE
she said normally she doesn't do this but
the job she was seeking she was trying to get HIRE
So I'm giving her a ride and she's
explaining the situation to ME
that she has a job but that's not where
she wants to BE
So we get to the interview and
I told her that I'd WAIT
I'll be waiting right here in the
exact same PLACE
So she came out of the interview
bubbly and EXCITED
I said how about a celebration
so to lunch, she was INVITED
so we talked and talked and
got to know each other BETTER
when she gave me her phone number I knew then that I could get HER
So I drove her to the gas station
so she could retrieve her CAR
I asked her if she lived nearby and
replied not that FAR
So she said why don't you follow me
so I can show you where I LIVE
I said that wouldn't be a problem
I already had the car in GEAR
So we got there and she invited
me in for a few DRINKS
I couldn't turn her down
what would she THINK
So we were sitting there talking and
everything was going SMOOTH
she told me to make myself more
comfortable so I removed my SHOES
Along with my shoes came off my pants
and SHIRT
she came out of her outfit and she and I
went to WORK
So we knocked boots until SUNRISE
I can still feel my hands Squeezing her THIGHS
I'd bark at the moon if I could see her AGAIN
but come to find out she had another FRIEND
When she no longer has another friend
I'd like to give her a CALL
when I was squeezing those thighs of hers
we were bouncing off the WALLS
she just wanted to have some fun
and that's just what we DID
the best thing for all concerned
was I kept my feelings HID
