Daniel Mannix Petrie (November 26, 1920 - August 22, 2004) was a Canadian television and movie director.
Petrie was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, the son of Mary Anne (née Campbell) and William Mark Petrie, a soft-drink manufacturer. He moved to the United States in 1945. One of his most famous credits was 1961's A Raisin in the Sun, which was nominated for the Golden Palm award at the Cannes Film Festival. He also directed Buster and Billie (1974), the Academy Award-nominated Resurrection (1980), Fort Apache, The Bronx (1981) and Cocoon: The Return (1988). He directed well-known television movies such as Sybil, Eleanor and Franklin, The Dollmaker and My Name is Bill W., and produced a 1999 remake of Inherit the Wind. His feature films were rarely box office successes, but they often feature large well-known casts (such as 1978's The Betsy, starring Laurence Olivier and Robert Duvall), and his films are among the earliest screen appearances by such stars as Winona Ryder (Square Dance) and Kiefer Sutherland (The Bay Boy). As a television director he was a winner of multiple Emmy and Directors Guild of America Awards.
I knew this girl this were cool
That lived up in my block
At 6 foot 2 her knee socks high
The class of 80 rocks
She got hips that sway for you
She got legs that never really stop
She asked me if my mamma dressed me
And I do like I should
From East Delror and fifty first
I'm on this neighbour hood
She just smiles and says to me
I just want to know if we are good
She said. Tell me once again why would you lie to me.
She said do me like you should why would you try for me.
From all the girls I new where would you rather be.
Because I've got everything you want.
Take me back to yours cause that's the best I want
You can't trust me
You won't make if I put you in the mood
She said no, no I've been there before you've got that attitude
You sold me out before all this
And now I'm fabulous without you
Tell me once again why would you lie to me.
She said do me like you should why would you try for me.
From all the girls I new where would you rather be.
Because I've got everything you want.
Take me back to yours
Why it takes so long
It's all gone wrong
And I can't say what
Cause I've got everything you need....
Who says I could use the time for you to believe
Tell me once again why would you lie to me.
She said do me like you should why would you try for me.
From all the girls I new where would you rather be.
Tell me once again why would you lie to me.
She said do me like you should why would you try for me.
From all the girls I new where would you rather be.
