R.D.C. (Opie's Lament) - Stephen Lynch

Used to think the perfect girl was only in my dreams

Until I saw your perfect face upon the movie screen

You seemed to know that I was there as though from God’s design

And as I cried I told myself someday you’d be mine

Rae Dawn Chong, baby, won’t you hear my song

I have loved you for so long

And I know I can make you love me too

Write you letters every day, I send flowers to your home

But it’s difficult to prove my love when you won’t answer the phone

And looking through binoculars makes it really hard to see you

From the camp that I’ve set up in your front yard

Rae Dawn Chong, why won’t you hear my song

What am I doing wrong

'Cause I can’t seem to make you love me too

I’m here inside my prison cell just lying in my bed

I wonder if you loved me when I shot you in the head

Rae Dawn Chong, you only had to hear my song

I even bought your dad a bomb (Tommy Chong… Cheech and Chong)

And all you had to do was love me

I gave you every chance to love me

You stupid bitch, you should have loved me too

Rae Dawn
