Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you're in Charleston look out for a woman
Hanging out in a bright red Cadillac
She took my money, she left me crying
And I don't know when I'll ever make it back?
[Verse 2]
Oh Yolanda, why you forsake me?
Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down?
Oh Yolanda, why did you leave me?
In this wilderness with no money down?
[Verse 3]
I was wealthy and lonely when I met her
Had a house, a job, and a Cadillac
A lovely wife, a beautiful daughter
I lost 'em all when she called and I answered back
[Verse 4]
Oh Yolanda, why you forsake me?
Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down?
Oh Yolanda, why did you leave me?
In this wilderness with no money down?
[Verse 5]
If you're in Charleston look out for a woman
Hanging out in a bright red Cadillac
She took my money, she left me crying
And I don't know will I ever make it back?
[Verse 6]
Oh Yolanda, why you forsake me?
Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down?
Oh Yolanda, why did you leave me?
In this wilderness with no money down?
In this wilderness with no money down?
[Verse 7]
Oh Yolanda, why you forsake me?
Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down?
Oh Yolanda, why did you leave me?
In this wilderness with no money down?
