Ghetto love




It's early in the morning and i just woke up

As i look around the room i see the note you put up

Telling me your sorry but you just had to leave

No warning the night before, it was so fun and free

Now your gone and i am alone and left to heal

My reward for all that fun we had, a 300$ hotel bill

That's it, no love for me, no smile, no goodbye

All i can think of the whole time is a simple why

Why you left without saying a word, just up and vanished

Times like these are so real that all i can do is stay mannish

To avoid the pain, the heartache, the reality that i now face

All that moaning and groaning and now you've left without a trace

Of you on the face of the earth, seems unreal until i'm he only one here still

Kind of crazy ain't it? That it could happen to me that way

Thinking back on all those years of having all the right words to say

Now it's me done like a normal man, all alone with my heart open

As if it was for me the whole time that this action was chosen

Something so real yet like a dream and now it's over that fast

Seems just last night that i knew this would have to last

Forever and ever because of the way we kissed and cuddled

The way we massaged each other as i watched your breast juggle

The way your hair swang left to right as you moved across the bed

The soft words i thought before each words i said

Then all of a sudden, came a knock at the  door and i got dressed

I didn't order any room service so who could it be i guessed

As i open the door the smell of perfume hit me and then i saw your

Brown paper-bag and that's when it hit me, the whole time you just went to the liquor store
