Lyrics

I heard about this guy named Charlie Parker
I asked the girl who told me "Hey, is he cute?"
She said "No, but him you will dig"
Guess that sister knew pretty damn well
'Cause that mister rang my every bell
He swept me off my little Bo Peep
The way he kissed me was lusciously sweet
You never known a man like Charlie Parker
You've never seen a light so bright at his height
He moves like a man out of time
Radiant movies spilling out of his fine
Do something to me take me out of my mind
It's like he knows exactly what
He said he wants his soul to do
I'm giving heart and soul to Charlie Parker
I know it's gonna be a ride and I'll cry
No matter my mind's made up
Sure I could find myself a safer man
A man with some money and a simpler plan
But how am I gonna live with that
After I've touched the mind of God
The world will always honor Charlie Parker
But they will never know the man like I did
The goof ball, the practical jokes
They'll never know the honey taste of his skin
They'll never know the real lessons of him
It's something I'll always have
Something I'll take all the way to the end
Hey Charlie
Hey
What are you gonna play for me?
