Lyrics


If you want to hang out, you've gotta take her out, cocaine

If you want to get down, get down on the ground, cocaine


She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie,

Cocaine


If you got that lose, you want to kick them blues, cocaine

When your day is done, and you want to ride on cocaine


She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie,

Cocaine


If your day is gone, and you want to ride on, cocaine

Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine


She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie,

Cocaine


She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie,

Cocaine
