Whatever you have done before
Won’t matter much to me
When there is something that I want
Desire or maybe need.

I don’t remember yesterday
I focus on today
Cravings must be satisfied
You know… I’ll find a way.

Make me  a cup of coffee
Wash my clothes and mop the floor
Sweep off the porch and mow the lawn
That’s  what I need you for.

I’m tired of watching TV
Take me out and buy me lunch
Pick me some wild begonias
Not just one …. pick me a bunch.

No one  to take me shopping
Guess, I’ll have to go with you
Make sure that you’re available 
Pick me up at half past two.

I should have known
Things never last
Now I am just
Part of your past.

How many lovers
Become …. “Just Friends”
When you decide
Things need to end?

Another crush
A pretty face
So into her
You love the chase.

What can I do?
My number’s blocked
You changed your mind
Then changed the locks.

Here’s your coat
Grab your hat
Pushed out the door
Just like that.

You turned on me
This can’t be real
There’s no concern
For how I feel.

I never thought
You’d be like this
There’s no remorse
No farewell kiss.

It won’t be long
She’ll learn the truth
She’ll get to know
That side of you.

It’s not forever
Who knows how long
Till you decide
It just feels wrong?

Here’s your coat
Grab your hat
Pushed out the door
Just like that.

When will I feel less haunted?
I don’t know just what to do
Your face …. your smile …. a memory
Can’t  get over losing you.

Feeling lost and empty
A void that can’t be filled
A constant craving …. yearning
Being held against my will.

This twisted …. hopeless feeling
Wrapped around my crippled soul
Is branded in my memory
With every lie you ever told. 

Not worth the years I’ve lingered
Suspended in mid air
Hoping you would change your mind
Wanting you to care.

Take back all of the promises
The  swell of tears …. the threats 
Give me back the way I felt
Before the day we met.

A distant thought
A memory
A shooting star
Not meant to be.

 Too intense
Too much …too fast
Too extreme 
Not meant to last.

The roar…. the thunder
The flash of light
The force… the surge
So strong each night. 

One of a kind
Never before
Bewitched … Beguiled 
I begged for more.

A Gypsy’s eyes
A Midas touch
Had no idea
You’d want so much.

Nothing left
You had moved on
When I woke up
You were gone.

A dream, a hoax
A fantasy
A taste…. a glimpse
Not meant for me.

I saw you there 
Across the room
I planned to leave
Was leaving soon.

But, standing there
So all alone
I felt the urge
To take you home.

Something there
Had drawn me in
Something wild 
So welcoming.

It felt just like
A roaring fire
The heat of passion
Lust and desire.

You caught my eye
The fix was in
That was it
I saw you grin.

I took your hand
You stole my heart
That was it
Right from the start.

Though passion fueled
It couldn’t last
We burned right through
Just way too fast.

Like broken glass
Too many shards
It hurt so bad
Was way too sharp!

Too much… too soon
The thrill was gone
Met someone new
Then you moved on.

You brought me back
I was slipping away
Fell off the ledge
Baby, I lost my way.

Shattered…. in pieces
Scattered about
My heart was broken
Couldn’t find my way out.

You reeled me in
You through me a lifeline
You held me tight
Said you would be mine.

Weak and confused
Been knocked all around
You held me up
Picked me off the ground.

Battered, abused
Cast aside, left for dead
I’ll never forget
All the things that you said.

You took me home
Knew just what I needed
You stopped the noise
Then you stopped me from bleeding.

No going back
Too little , too late
You took my hand
|Walked me right out the gate.

I paid the price
We went too far
I felt the pain
Baby, I got the scars.

Chorus:

You rescued me
I cried out for help
You rescued me
Saved me from myself.

I try to remember
Though time has long passed
So little remains
It all happened so fast.

I was crushed…. devastated
Couldn’t breathe , catch my breath

I don’t want to remember

Wish I could forget.

Begged you to be quiet
It was too much to bear
The words so confusing
It just wasn’t fair.

So many excuses
I was feeling ashamed
Why did this all happen?
Who’s at fault, who’s to blame?

My hands started shaking
I couldn’t believe

You wanted to go

You were desperate to leave.

So anxious, impatient
it was over and done
You had made up your mind

You were ready to run.
.

You closed the front door
You walked out on me
No regret or remorse
Left behind was my key.

You weren’t worth the heartache
Yes it’s over, we’re through

So glad that you’re gone

Glad I’m over you.

Let’s play it by the book
I’ll sign ….you tell me where
What difference does it make?
We both know  you don’t care. 

She gets your warm, sweet, tender smile
And that shiny new sport’s car
20 years ….. your junior
Now she’s driving a Jaguar.

An upgrade from her old, red jeep
She parked it down the block
I watched you walking…. hand in hand
I think I was in shock.

I was taken by surprise  
She was barely over thirty
I watched you there …. from  afar
She was sexy and quite flirty.

You took off your wedding ring
Just the day before
Left it with your nylon socks
In the corner of your drawer.

No tears or explanation
Just a glance and then a sigh
You didn’t leave a note behind
Didn’t even say, “goodbye”. 

What the hell? What’s happening?
After all that we’ve been through 
I never saw it coming
Never saw that side of you.

When she’s mixing you a drink
Hope she’s careful not to spill
Antifreeze is odorless
It’s a poison that can kill.

Heard you put her in your will
She stands to benefit
Gets your pension and your stocks 
Not just half …. but all of it!

Such a foolish silly man
She’s got her hooks on you
You’re just her, “Sugar Daddy”
And you think that she loves you.
