  1. Well, this girl came up to me, she says she's new in town

  2. But the crew been said they seen her around

  3. I thought they were right but I didn't want to know

  4. The girlie was def and she wanted to go

  5. I think her name is Lucy but they all call her Loose

  6. I think I thought I seen her on 8th and Forty-deuce

  7. The next thing she said was, "My place or yours?"

  8. Let's kick some bass behind closed doors

  9. We got into the cab, the cab driver said

  10. He recognized my girlie from the back of her head

  11. He said a little something about tip to base

  12. So I made him stop the cab to get out of the place

  13. Should've looked back, man, I'll always regret it

  14. Something's going on and I'll probably never get it

  15. She was crying like a baby, stupid dumb

  16. It's just too bad that girl's a bum

  17. She's crafty, she gets around

  18. She's crafty, she's always down

  19. She's crafty, you know, she's got a gripe

  20. She's crafty and she's just my type

  21. She's crafty

  22. I spent my last dollar to buy a Sabrett

  23. When I seen this girl I could never forget

  24. Now, I like nothing better than a pretty girl's smile

  25. And I haven't seen a smile that pretty in a while

  26. The girl came up to me, she said she loved the show

  27. I asked her to come home and she couldn't say no

  28. We got to the crib and there was Adam and D

  29. We didn't say a word, they just stared at me

  30. I said, "I don't know her, I just met her tonight"

  31. And Ad-Rock started hiding everything in sight

  32. D pulled me over, said, "Hide your gold"

  33. The girl is crafty like ice is cold

  34. The girl is crafty, she knows all the moves

  35. I started playing records, she knew all the grooves

  36. He thought she was a thief and D was right

  37. But I just figured she'd spend the night

  38. When I woke up late in the afternoon

  39. She had taken all the things from inside his room

  40. I found myself naked in the middle of the floor

  41. She had taken the bed and the chest of drawers

  42. The mirror, the TV, the new guitar cord

  43. My remote control and my old skateboard

  44. She robbed us blind, she took all we owned

  45. And the boys blamed me for bringing her home

  46. She's crafty, she gets around

  47. She's crafty, she's always down

  48. She's crafty, she's got a gripe

  49. She's crafty and she's just my type

  50. She's crafty

  51. (Oh, yeah!)

  52. She's crafty, she gets around

  53. She's crafty, she's always down

  54. She's crafty, she's got a gripe

  55. She's crafty and she's just my type

  56. She's crafty, she gets around

  57. She's crafty, she's always down

  58. She's crafty, she's got a gripe

  59. She's crafty and she's just my type

  60. She's crafty

She’s Crafty

Well, this girl came up to me, she says she's new in town

But the crew been said they seen her around

I thought they were right but I didn't want to know

The girlie was def and she wanted to go

I think her name is Lucy but they all call her Loose

I think I thought I seen her on 8th and Forty-deuce

The next thing she said was, "My place or yours?"

Let's kick some bass behind closed doors

We got into the cab, the cab driver said

He recognized my girlie from the back of her head

He said a little something about tip to base

So I made him stop the cab to get out of the place

Should've looked back, man, I'll always regret it

Something's going on and I'll probably never get it

She was crying like a baby, stupid dumb

It's just too bad that girl's a bum

She's crafty, she gets around

She's crafty, she's always down

She's crafty, you know, she's got a gripe

She's crafty and she's just my type

She's crafty

I spent my last dollar to buy a Sabrett

When I seen this girl I could never forget

Now, I like nothing better than a pretty girl's smile

And I haven't seen a smile that pretty in a while

The girl came up to me, she said she loved the show

I asked her to come home and she couldn't say no

We got to the crib and there was Adam and D

We didn't say a word, they just stared at me

I said, "I don't know her, I just met her tonight"

And Ad-Rock started hiding everything in sight

D pulled me over, said, "Hide your gold"

The girl is crafty like ice is cold

The girl is crafty, she knows all the moves

I started playing records, she knew all the grooves

He thought she was a thief and D was right

But I just figured she'd spend the night

When I woke up late in the afternoon

She had taken all the things from inside his room

I found myself naked in the middle of the floor

She had taken the bed and the chest of drawers

The mirror, the TV, the new guitar cord

My remote control and my old skateboard

She robbed us blind, she took all we owned

And the boys blamed me for bringing her home

She's crafty, she gets around

She's crafty, she's always down

She's crafty, she's got a gripe

She's crafty and she's just my type

She's crafty

(Oh, yeah!)

She's crafty, she gets around

She's crafty, she's always down

She's crafty, she's got a gripe

She's crafty and she's just my type

She's crafty, she gets around

She's crafty, she's always down

She's crafty, she's got a gripe

She's crafty and she's just my type

She's crafty
