I once knew a girl by the name of Monique
She was my childhood sweetheart every day of the week
Whether PS 46, or 151
After school I'd go to her house, to have some fun
We both lived in colonial projects
I lived in building 48, she lived in building 26
We used to play Ringling Coco 123
But when I'm in Monique's presence, I would just freeze
The relationship began when I was five startin
She was in nursery school, I was in kindergarten
We was more closer than the hand and glove
This is what you call real puppy love
When we go trick or treatin, I would carry her bag
When we moved to Long Island, it was oh such a drag
Cause I know it would be difficult to see her again
I would miss her more, than I miss all of my friends
Even though we was little this love was unique
And this is what I sing, to my love Monique, because
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
Let me tell you a little somethin, about Monique
Even though we was little, she had a physique
Indian brown skin, with a nice complexion
She always gave me tender love and affection
I knew she was different in her own little way
I used to knock at her door, bout every single day
I remember when we used to go trick or treatin
I used to snag bags, so she could sink her teeth in
Crazy big variety of a lot of candy
She would share it with her friends Kim, Rhonda, Fran, and Lee
Net, the girl she called her cousin
We never had an argument or we was never fussin
That's why me and her got along so good
Anything I asked her to do, you know she would
We would have family day, in back of building 70
I would win her a prize, so she can treat me heavenly
I don't care what nobody say
Because, this girl would make my day, and
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
Now this is the epilogue of this story
About a young little girl, especially for me
No matter how many years ago I can't forget
But then again 1986 hit
She looked just the same, but in a bigger version
My mind started goin on a love excursion
I started reminiscin to about old times
She began to smile, I guess I rang her chimes
I didn't see her again til 1988
And I saw her again, and she still was straight
Now this time I had, enough courage to speak to her
I told her would you be with me and what would occur?
Then I asked was, she swingin any capers
She said, "No not me, nobody got no papers"
I couldn't believe, after all of these years
I was so happy she waited, it brought me to tears, cause
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
She's not just another woman
She's not, no no
