Tenth And Greenwich (Women’s House Of Detention)

Melvin Van Peebles

[Verse 1]
Hey fourth floor, hey four, four!
Dorothy, is that your light sugar?
How they treatin' you, sugar?
Make me some kind of sign so I know it's you
'Cause you so far away
Dorothy?
I miss you

[Hook]
Baby, is you ever gonna come back and dance with me?

[Verse 2]
Guess what?
They got a new kind of hairspray
I know you'll dig it
You got a can waitin' on the shelf for you
Sugar?
I'm waitin' too

[Hook]
Baby, is you ever gonna come back and dance with me?

[Verse 3]
Guess what?
Evlin, Theresa's boy
Would you believe it?
He turned 2, I gave out the hats at the party
I miss you

[Hook]
Baby, is you ever gonna come back and dance with me?

[Verse 4]
Guess what?
I'm gettin' on my feet
I did Big Rudy a favor, he taking a shine to me
He gives me a few little things to me
The pidgeon had an egg
I miss you

[Hook]
Baby, is you ever gonna come back and dance with me?

[Verse 5]
Dorothy?
You ain't gonna never face the man again
Count on me, everything's gonna be cool for you
If he's still around, for your monkey too
I miss you

[Hook]
Baby, is you ever gonna come back and dance with me?

[Verse 6]
Guess what?
Washington's hall got a new kind of lamps
They blink and change colors, too
They got a few new steps, too
The slowest stay the slow, though
I miss you

[Hook]
Baby, is you ever gonna come back and dance with me?

[Verse 7]
Can you guess what I dreamed about us?
I guess you can, you was out the slam
We needn't wait for the bus
We ran all the way
It's ready and waitin', sugar!
I miss you

[Hook]
Oh baby, is you ever gonna come back and dance with me?

[Verse 8]
You seen your last cooler, sugar
You ain't never gonna get strung out on humble again
I love you, I love you, I love you
