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