I Amused to think the Fperfect girl was Conly in my Gdreams
UAmntil I saw your Fperfect face uCpon the movie Gscreen
You Amseemed to know that FI was there
As Cthough from God's deGsign.
And Amas I cried,
I Ftold myself Csomeday you'd be Gmine
FRae CDawn GChong, baby, won't you Fhear Cmy Gsong?
I have loved you Ffor Cso Glong,
And I Fknow that GI can Fmake you Glove me Ctoo.
Intro
I write you letters every day.
I send flowers to your home.
But it's difficult to prove my love
When you won't answer the phone.
And looking through binoculars
Makes it really hard to see you
From the camp that I've set up
In your front yard.
Rae Dawn Chong, why won't you hear my song?
What am I doing wrong?
'Cause I can't seem to make you love me too.
And here inside my prison cell
Just lying in my bed
I wonder if you loved me
When I shot you in the head...
Rae Dawn Chong, you only had to hear my song.
I even bought your dad a bong.
And all you had to do was love me.
I gave you every chance to love me.
You stupid bitch, you should have loved me too...

Until I saw your perfect face upon the movie screen

As though from God's design.

And as I cried,

F C G

I told myself someday you'd be mine

Rae Dawn Chong, baby, won't you hear my song?

Intro

I write you letters every day.

I send flowers to your home.

But it's difficult to prove my love

When you won't answer the phone.

And looking through binoculars

Makes it really hard to see you

From the camp that I've set up

In your front yard.

Rae Dawn Chong, why won't you hear my song?

What am I doing wrong?

'Cause I can't seem to make you love me too.

And here inside my prison cell

Just lying in my bed

I wonder if you loved me

When I shot you in the head...

Rae Dawn Chong, you only had to hear my song.

I even bought your dad a bong.

And all you had to do was love me.

I gave you every chance to love me.

You stupid bitch, you should have loved me too...
