Yeah, I love when a song tells a story, exactly like the older R&B or Soul music did.

Oh I didn’t think anyone else would mention this. I am playing it right now because it’s been on my mind every since I read this book this morning.

I will always remember the Lionel Richie or the Commodores song, ” Once, Twice, Three times a lady.” I was at a school dance and this little boy I was not suppose to be messing with because he had a girlfriend and I had a boyfriend had this song dedicated to me by our special code. OOOHHH WEEEEEE………I felt just right. I think about that everytime I hear that song. And to make things worst I was dancing with my boyfriend while the song played. Lawd I hope no one knows me from my high school days because that boyfriend became my husband……now ex-husband (lol)………..
