I got a girl, her name is Erica
She said she coming to America
Got her a ticket, passport, and visa
And a blessing from her ma Teresa
She wore white lace
I dressed in leather
Dreaming of our life together
She said, “I love you
And that’s forever
But I think I like your money better”
She’s so extra, extra
Everything she wanted, I gave it in the name of love
She’s so extra, extra
Everything she wanted, never seemed to be enough
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la, hey!
Sha la la la la la la la la la la
First came the lovin’, and then the trouble
At check-out time the bill, it double
The cops were called to the casino
They kicked us out our room in Reno
First the flash, and then the fury
Then the trial, judge, and jury
Nolo contendere
I’m a fuckup
So I’m filing for d’vorce in lockup
She’s so extra, extra
Everything she wanted, I gave it in the name of love
She’s so extra, extra
Everything she wanted, never seemed to be enough
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la, hey!
Sha la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la, hey!
Sha la la la la la la la la la la
I drove out to that bridge
To end this life of sin
Took my wedding ring off and I threw it in
If you want to know
How the story ends
You’ll have to ask the fishes in Lake Michigan
She’s so extra, extra
Everything she wanted, I gave it in the name of love
She’s so extra, extra
Everything she wanted, never seemed to be enough
She’s so extra, extra
Everything she wanted, I gave it in the name of love
She’s so extra, extra
Everything she wanted, never seemed to be enough
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la, hey!
Sha la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la, hey!
Sha la la la la la la la la la la
