	作词 : MC Lyte, Milk Dee
	I used to be in love with this guy named Sam
	I don't know why, cause he had the head like that of a clam
	But you couldn't tell me nothin, cause Sam was number one
	Cause to me, oh my gosh, he was one in a million
	I shoulda knew the consequences right from the start
	That he'd use me for my money, and then break my heart
	But like a fool in love I fell for his game
	But I got mine, so I show no shame
	In Empire winked his eye, and then he kept walkin
	And all of those who live in Brooklyn know just what I'm talkin
	The roller disco where we all used to go
	Just to have some fun back in 1981
	You know the place, Empire Boulevard
	Is where I first saw the nigga, and he tried to play hard
	But I knew the deal, cause I knew his brother Jerry
	And Sam, he just broke up with his girlfriend Terry
	So Jerry introduced Sam and I that night
	He said, "Hello, my name is Sam" I said, "Hi, my name is Lyte"
	We dipped and we dapped and we chit and we chat
	About this and that, from sneakers to hats
	He said, "Look, I'm in the mood for love
	Simply because you're near me"
	(Let's go) To my house, lay back and get nice
	Watch television, Reunite On Ice
	I said, "Slow down, I know you wanna shake me down
	But I'm not one of the girls to go rippin around"
	(Just like a test
	Ju-just like a test
	Ju-just like a test
	I cram to understand you)
	[ VERSE 2 ]
	Next month I finally went to his house
	I walked into the door, there was a girl on the couch
	I said, "Who's the frog, the bump on the log?
	You chump, you punk, how could you do me wrong?
	Singing sad songs about your love is so strong"
	You said, "Wait Lyte, you're confused, the girl is my cousin"
	Your brother agreed, but later she said that she wasn't
	(Just like a test
	Ju-just like a test
	Ju-just like a test
	I cram to understand U)
	[ VERSE 3 ]
	Forgotten, next month we went to the Deuce
	Well, I thought it kinda strange cause you had lots of juice
	You knew the dopes, the pushers, the addicts, everybody
	Asked ya how you met em, said you met em at a party
	Then these girls tried to tell me you were sellin the stuff
	I said, "It's not your business, so shut the fuck up"
	They said, "Okay Lyte, think what you wanna think
	But it's gon' be some shit when your man becomes a -"
	I said, "Look, to bust a move, I don't even know you
	To put it Lyte, I really don't care to"
	They kinda got mad and sort of offended
	They said, "We only lookin out for yo best interest"
	I said, "Thanks but no thanks" in an aggravated tone
	"When I wanna find out, I find out on my own"
	(Just like a test
	Ju-just like a test
	Ju-just like a test
	I cram to understand U)
	[ VERSE 4 ]
	Then my cousin said she saw you with this lady named C
	Well I'm clawin my thoughts, I wonder who she could be
	You're spending all your time with her and not a second with me
	They say you spend your money on her and you're with her night and day
	Her name starts with a C and it ends with a k
	I strain my brain lookin for a name to fit this spellin
	But I just couldn't do it cause my heart kept yellin
	Burning, begging for affection from you, Sam
	But just like a test I cram to understand you
	Thought I knew you well enough to call you a man
	But (Just like a test
	Ju-just like a test
	Ju-just like a test
	I cram to understand you)
	[ VERSE 5 ]
	Then it came a time you started looking kinda thin
	I asked you why, you said, "Exercise, tryina stay slim"
	I bought it, even though I knew it was a lie
	Cause it really didn't matter, you were still lookin fly
	But oh no, oh no, you started askin me for money
	Butter me up, beg me and call me your honey
	So I gave you 2 yards, and then I gave you one more
	You picked up your jacket and you flew out the door
	You came back an hour later and you asked me for a 10
	I said, "I only got a 20", you said, "Give me that, then"
	I said, "Nope, I'll tell you now, you better stop slobbin
	Find you a job, or you better start robbin"
	So I stepped off with a giant step
	Picked up my belongings, and I just left
	And now I see you in Empire every Sunday
	Juicin the girls up for some money and a lay
	But every time I see you doin it, I just ruin it
	Tell em how ya on crack, smoke, sniff, and chewin it
	And as for this girl, Miss C, oh well
	I was shocked as hell when I heard, Samuel
	When your homeboys told me, I almost went wack
	That the girl you was addicted to, her name was Crack
