[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Me and [G]Eric be
was coolin' at the Paladium
Seen a all world covered girl
I said "Hey lady I'm
Sorry if You're in a rush
Don't let me hold ya up
Or interveen or interrupt but
[A]You

[Verse 2]
got the look I want
to get [D]to know ya better
I had to let [G]her know but yo I
didn't sweat [A]her
'Cause if you woulda seen
what I was seein'
[D]Almost looked Kor[G]ean but European.

[Verse 3]
When [D]she spoke her accent
was [G]self- explanatory -
Even [D]her [G]body language told the story
Her name [D]was [A]Mah[D]ogony - twin's
name was Ebony
I said "My [G]name is Ra
- and this is Eric be"

[Verse 4]
[D]Since the music [A]was loud,
I [D]said "let's take a walk,
So we could talk and see New York.
Show time doesn't [G]start
until one o'c[D]lock
And once I entered your [A]mind I
[G]wouldn't want to stop

[Verse 5]
Caress[D]in' ya thoughts [A]till we
was thinkin' the [D]same
Calm ya nerves, [G]massage ya brain
Each mic is [D]a mineral, po[A]etry's protein
[D]Verse is a vitamin - Affec[G]ts like Codine
So [A]tell me

[Verse 6]
how you feel and I'll re[D]veal
A pill that'll heal ya pain
[G]- 'cause I'm real
She [A]musta OD'd 'cause she
couldn't res[D]ist
[Ebdim]She spoke slo[D]wly when she [G]told me this,
she said

[Verse 7]
[G][Chorus]
Over Me, She's goin' [D]crazy
She'll rub me on my chest
and call me Mr. Sexy
She said she'd have my kids
and help me make my next G
Tell me I ain't fin[G]esse Maho[A]gony

[Verse 8]
So I prescribed her, something to [D]revive
And surprise her, she's liver
[G]and much more wiser
Than the [A]light I shine when my brain cells spark,
[D][Ebdim]
[D]Come to me so we can [G]glow in the dark

[Verse 9]
And [D]soon, you can rep
[A]resent [D]the moon
As long as I [A]keep ya [G]in tune
I'll tell [D]ya who [A]ya are and why ya [D]here
Take it in stride 'cause
[A]it might [G]take a year
It's [D]funny

[Verse 10]
- how time [A]flies
when ya hav[G]in' fun
[D]We got close and it was [G]almost one
She kissed [D]me slow,
but you know [G]how far a kiss can go
Fuck [D]around and [A]miss [G]the show
So I [A]told her

[Verse 11]
[D]to hold that thought real tight
We can finish where we
left [G]off later on tonite
[D]Back to the sce[A]ne of the crime on tim[D]e
As they introduced the 'Fiend
[G]of the Rhyme'
[A]She stood

[Verse 12]
with a birds-
eye [G]view [D]of me
Thinkin' of later on of what
she would do to me
The back of the [A]room I
[G]could see her eyes gloom
[D]Patient, but hopin' that
the show was over soon

[Verse 13]
As the place [D]was ripped in half,
[G]she mad[D]e her way[A] to the[D] front row
So I [G]said "let's go"
I packed [A]my mic [D]as
[A]they screamed [E]for[A] an encore
[D]The speakers were blown,
plus my [G]mic was sore

[Verse 14]
Besides I [G]got places to go,
[D]ladies to see
And she could tell me how
[G]crazy she was over me
We drove off - she said she liked
the way that [D]I performed
[G]And couldn't wait to get
'soft and warm', I said,
[A]"I've

[Verse 15]
been watchin' you,
watchin' [D]me
Looks I received made [G]it hard to MC
I [A]can take a hint, so I knew that she
Wanted my "Agony Agony [C]Ag- on-
[G]why" in her bod- why

[Verse 16]
Showed her some [G]sights,
then I took [A]her to the Con[G]do
[D]She was pipin' hot[G],
but I kept my calm So
She asked [D]how come [A]I don't smile
I said, [D]"Everything's fine,
but I'm in a New York [G]state of mind!"

[Verse 17]
As we reached [D]the kingdom,
she said bring some
Champagne,
she'll entertain then [G]sing some
[D]Sentimental, songs real gentle,
It hit the spot and you
know where it went to

[Verse 18]
As we [D]embraced I [A]felt her heart pumpin'
[D]I knew she was in [A]the
[D]mood for somethin'
So [G]I laid on m[A]y back and relaxed
[G]It was[D]n't the[G] Perignon that
made her collaspe
Over [A]me
