LYRICS W/ SONG STRUCTURE
Verse 1
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/plan_b/charmaine_tab_ver_2.html ]
The first day I saw her was at the train station,
She was half black, half Caucasian
At first, yo, I thought she was asian
But as I get a bit closer her origin in blatent.
The best of both worlds, caramel complexion
And I swear when she smiled I almost, got an erection
Piercing green eyes, they shine like emeralds
When she, gave me the wink I could only think with my genitals
She tells me her name as soon as I approach her
Its charmaine, charmaine de la rosa
I say, "is that Spanish" she says, "yeah" I say, "kosher"
Whole time im imagining what it would be like to dose her
Train pulls up and we get on it together
Duration of the journey get to know each other better
We exchange numbers and agree to meet up afterwards
She blows me a kiss and with that I departed
Fill
Chorus
Verse 2
One week and 20 pound phone credit later,
I dont just wanna seduce this girl, now I wanna date her.
She got a great personality and sense of humour,
Next time we meet it just cant come any sooner.
We arrange to go out for a drink at a bar,
Shes already there when I arrive and she looks the part.
Even more stunning than I remember,
Fuck it, drop dead gorgeous
Her arse is tight and her breasts are bloody enormous!
Hand in hand we walk over to the doorman
Hes got a big shiny head yo he looks like George Foreman
He lets her through and asks me for I.D
Im like "what the hell you talking bout man, im 19!"
I whip my drivers licence out and he lets me in,
Then I trip over a step, how embarrassing.
Charmaine lets to see it all but pretends not to see,
I feel like a fool, she just thinks its sweet.
Fill
Chorus
Verse 3
The night goes a lot smoother than planned,
Apart from the little hick-up at the start its all gone grand
Whenever guys try to chat her up, she shows them the hand
Turns down every dance saying Im her man.
We get a cab back to my place where we get it on
I take off my shirt, she strips right down to the thong.
I marvel at her body, feluptuous curves
Shes a real woman, no doubt about it.
Her confidence is sky high,
Shes the one whos got me on my back
Shes saying "baby this is your night."
Im like "alright, its worth a go I spose"
So, we switch roles and takes full control
She starts slow, grinding me softly
Whilst kissing, yeah, shes doing me properly.
Its when I start thinking, man,
this girls gotta be from outta this world or something because shes shocking me.
Never felt like this before this was more than sex.
Sex was something that you had with skets.
Something the next day you regret with a,
Girl you wish that you had never met.
Na ah, no way man, this had to be love,
I couldnt believe I was saying it, but thats what it was.
Like a leaf in the autumn, I had fallen.
After that nothing else seemed important.
Chorus
Verse 4
Outro
So now its time to hear my predicament, my catch 22
I loved this girl but now I have to cut her loose.
So I was talking to one of my boys the very next day
And I, told him all about me and Charmaine.
He looks at me in a very strange way,
And asks me if de la rosa is her surname
If shes, mixed race and her eyes are green
I say "yeah" he replies, "blud, that girls fourteen."
