Ya tell me why did you do it, C.C. Rider, oh would you do it, C.C. Rider C.C., oh C.C., oh C.C., oh C.C.. Listen ladies. This song reminds me of a man I once knew, oh what a man. He crept into my heart and he crept into my life, there wasn't anything I wouldn't do for that man, and I did. Until that day when I found out that the man in who I had put all my trust, and a great deal of my money, turned out to be a liar and a cheat. He told me he was single with a future, he was married with a past. Let me tell you how I found out. I was sitting at home one day minding my own business when I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I leaped to open it thinking it was my man, but when I opened it, it turned out to be a women, with a child by her side and a large instrument of the pointed variety in her hand. And she waved that thing at me and she said, "Where's Sam!?!" Well, my dear, I didn't quite know what to do, I said, "Sam? You mean my Sam?" and she said, "No Miss Midler, I don't mean your Sam, I mean my Sam, I'm the one with the papers on him." Well, I invited him in, her in to discuss the situation, I was a little worried, well low and behold, if the words she hadn't spoken were absolutely true, her Sam and my Sam, were the same Sam! I was furious, I was absolutely furious, I swore I would never see him again, and I never did . . . until just yesterday I came upon him in the street, and you know what he was doing? Well I'll tell you what he was doing, he was sucking that same stupid dirty old grubby line to some other girl who looked to be just as gullible as I was. Well I saw red. I walked up to him, I put my hand on his shoulder, I turned him around and I yelled in his ear . . . C.C. Rider, you got ya, you got to see what you've done. You made me love ya, now your gal has come. Oooh, you made me love ya, now your gal has come. I said you, oh you made me love you, Oh, now your gal . . . Her name is Roseland, she lives down the block. has Come!!!
