Derrick is a strange machine

We were lovers for some time
we went separate ways that's fine
but I can't sit idly by

I've seen you hand in hand with him
Derrick is a man of whim
he will surely see you cry

I don't want to come between
I don't want to ruin your love
but Derrick is a strange machine

I don't want to be obscene
I don't want to tell what he's done
but Derrick is a loaded gun

He can be so very cruel
he has but a single rule
a cold and heartless point of view

You should have a better care
and put an end to this affair
Derrick's always been bad news

We were lovers for some time
we were lovers for some time
