Ezra was an old man
He lived by the sea
Watchin' himself gettin' older,
With no Family
And Cassie was a pretty one,
A bartender by trade
She had a daughter with big green eyes,
She called her Jade
They met each other in the park,
While Jade was on a swing
On a bench underneath a tree,
They talked about everything
And she said, Sometimes I get so scared,
But I don't know why
She reached for the old man's hand,
and she began to cry
And he said,
it ain't no crime,It ain't no crime
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes
It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime
Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes

Then he said
I was gonna be a painter,
gonna paint my masterpeice
I spent my whole life dreamin',
now they're my only memories
And I was gonna live in Paris, France
Now my body's fallin' apart
I could be Pablo Picasso if Dillusion were in art
And she said,
"That sounds lovelyParis, France
Just sayin' those words,
Kinda makes me wanna dance,
Do you wanna dance?"

It ain't no crime,It ain't no crime
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes
It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime
Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes

They'd meet there every Sunday
In the park at noon
Ezra would get there early
To buy Jade a red balloon
And Cassie'd tell him all about
her awful luck with men
She's say, "Wish I could find a guy like you
But they'll never make you again"
And Jade would fall asleep on Ezra's lap
there in the park
While Cassie'd still be talkin' a long time after dark

Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes

One Sunday afternoon,
no Ezra, No red balloon
Just a friend of his who said,
"Ezra Passed Away
And he wanted me to bring this letter to you today"
Well it was 2 tickets to Paris and a note that read,
'Thank you for the dance
My dearest Cassie,
you were my Paris, France'

It ain't no crime, It ain't no crime
Everybody gets a little bit loney sometimes
