Tragedy
Oh baby it's a tragedy
Everybody's saying oh my god oh how could she
Be his wife then ruin his life
Stab his heart with an unfaithful knife
Ain't it 'till death do us part
Right now my broken dreams are on the boulevard
I walk alone, eat alone, sleep alone
Staring out the window wishing one day maybe you'll come home
Don't you remember all our memories
All those times before you were a tease
Our three favorite words were I love you
But best of all was when you said I do
Oh baby it's a tragedy
Everybody's saying oh my god oh how could she
Be his wife then ruin his life
Stab his heart with an unfaithful knife
She swings better than a Tiger Woods
Some lucky dude he got a hole in one
He said she moves so fine, she moves so good
But soon with him she will be done
This experience is like a hurricane
I've got a storm around me and when I
Look or think about your gorgeous eyes
A calm surrounds me
But then I realize you caused me so much pain
Oh baby it's a tragedy
Everybody's saying oh my god oh how could she
Be his wife then ruin his life
Stab his heart with an unfaithful knife
Give my heart a GPS because it is lost
For me this is the second coming of the holocaust
I don't know if I can withstand the torture
I might kill myself like Hitler
Because oh my baby, I miss her
This is all the story wrote
I know many others are in the same boat
All I did was love you unconditionally
Now I must move on with only a memory
Why did you have to do this to me?
Oh baby it's a tragedy
