Lyrics for Yolanda

If you're in Charleston look out for a woman Hanging out in a bright red Cadillac She took my money, she left me crying And I don't know will I ever make it back? Oh Yolanda, why you forsake me? Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down? Oh Yolanda, why did you leave me In this wilderness with no money down? I was wealthy and lonely when I met her Had a house, a job and a Cadillac A lovely wife, a beautiful daughter I lost them all when she called and I answered back Oh Yolanda, why you forsake me? Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down? Oh Yolanda, why did you leave me In this wilderness with no money down? If you're in Charleston look out for a woman Hanging out in a bright red Cadillac She took my money, she left me crying And I don't know will I ever make it back? Oh Yolanda, why you forsake me? Why you just lay, lay, lay my body down? Oh Yolanda, why did you leave me In this wilderness with no money down In this wilderness with no money down? Why did you leave me? You're gone, oh now you're gone Where have you gone?
