"Beautiful"

Such pretty hair
May I kiss you
May I kiss you there
So beautiful you are
So beautiful
Please don't...

Biography

Born %Mary Johnson in 1969 and spending the first few years of her life in Germany (her father was both a military man and a jazz saxophonist), Ndegéocello and her family relocated to Virginia in the early '70s as the youngster developed an interest in music. As a teenager, Ndegéocello began to play regularly in the clubs of Washington, D.C., but eventually settled down in New York City after a stint of studying music at Howard University.
