Letter

(album: Whitey Ford Sings The Blues - 1998)

Yeah that's her
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
All the broken hearts
And the unpaid dues
What you did to me
What I did to you
I ain't mad at you, boo
So what we gonna do
I just seen you out with your new man
It's looking kind of happy
I'm feeling like somebody just slapped me
My gut's in a knot
My temp's getting hot
I wanna make that man bleed
And wear this speed knot
'Cause he ain't got what we had
And it makes me kind of mad
I hurt my one true love
Just like my dad
And it's kinda sad
'Cause now my shit's together
No need for umbrellas
I can see the stormy weather
I'm going outside into the rain
Like Keith Sweat
'Cause I can't house this pain
We was working for years
Now I'm jerking these tears
From my lips to God's ears, girl
I did you wrong
So I'm making this song
To let you know how I feel
Before I'm keeping it real
May keep my heart concealed
And now I'm on the side
Just patiently waiting
Watching on you when the time for updatin'I can't hide from the truth
I know the puddin's in the proof
So I stand convicted like all your friends predicted
But I'd think you'd be surprised
On how this ends brothers
We went from lovers to friends
We'll go from friends to lovers
So if that man make you smile
I guess that I'll
Just accept it
And respect it
I'll hit you with this song
And let you think about it
Then I'll just leave you alone
And be a man about it.
