I know you said you’re sorry
Didn’t mean to be so cruel
All the times I listened to ya
You played me for such a fool.

I should’a left you sooner
Boxed it up and headed home
Didn’t want to let you go
Didn’t want to be alone.

So much glitter, so much charm
All the prestige you portrayed
Always hanging off the edge
Always feeling so afraid.

All my time and my affection
Nothing left to give myself
Always  craving my attention
You took it all, all for yourself.

Can’t go back, I can’t start over
There’s no way to try again
I’ve had enough of being lied to
I don’t want to be just friends.

Don’t try… don’t text or call me
There’s nothing left to say
Some things just aren’t worth saying
If you care, just walk away.

WALK ON BY … Diana Krall

Why have you started calling?
I was better off before
You don’t really want me
Why you knocking on my door?

Said you’re feeling lonely
Told me that we’re through
Now you’re coming over
What am I suppose to do?

What the hell do you want?
What are you looking for?
You don’t really want me.
Why you knocking on my door?

Cheating is your strong suit
You know just what to do
You know just how to play me
Know  I’ll give in to you.

She’s at home …..  in your bed
Why don’t you go  back home?
Why stand in front of my door?
If you care, leave me alone.

You have no intentions
Of getting back with me
Just taking what you want to
I’m begging you to leave.

My heart’s already broken
You took my pride,  my soul
You know I can’t stand up to you
One  touch and I will fold.

I’m not what you wanted
Don’t start this all again
You know where this is headed
You know how this will end.

Don’t text, email or call me
I was better off  before
Please don’t put me through this
Stop knocking on my door!

SONG: I HEAR YOU KNOCKING by Dave Edmunds.

All the way home I cried and cried
But you really didn’t care
I knew it when I saw your face
That cold and empty stare.

We sat there in silence
Nothing  mattered much to you
No hand to hold, to comfort me
There was nothing I could do.

I wanted to reach out… to talk
But  never made a sound
Knew that there was someone else
Someone else that you had  found.

I heard you on the phone with her
I could hear your voices muffled
You thought I was asleep , I’m sure
I knew I was in trouble.

I laid awake, tears in my eyes
You came to bed just after three
Thought I could  find the words to say
That might bring you back to me.

But, there was nothing more to say
I didn’t move or make a  sound
Didn’t matter who she was
This new girl that you had found.

Is it so easy to forget?
Don’t walk away, don’t go just yet
You’re not sure, just what you feel
Give me a chance.  I’ll change….I will.

All the hurt and all the pain
Let it go, I’ll do the same
Just one more chance, please don’t go
I love you more, more than you know.

It’s worth the risk, It’s worth it all
Please forgive me, make the call
Please try again, so much to lose
Please let me be… the one you choose.

I can’t take back the times I lied
I’m sorry that I made you cry.
I was so wrapped up in me
I get it now…. I do, I see.

I’m asking you,  please don’t go
If you leave , you’ll never know
That I meant… every word I’m saying
Down on my knees,  I’ll beg….I’m praying

Give me one more chance…. with you
So much at stake, so much to lose
One more try… to get this right
One more day,  just one more night.

AIN’T TOO PROUD TO BEG by The Temptations

Too damn hot
She’s got it all
You’re too close
You’re gonna fall.

Back it up
Down a notch
Won’t be long
Set your watch.

She’s got skills
Like no one else
Before she’s done
You’ll beg for help.

High and dry
Is where you’ll be
She won’t care
She’ll watch you bleed.

Wipes her hands
When she’s done
No second thoughts
She’ll hit….then run.

Wanting you
A waste of time
Should’a known
You’d change your mind.

All the while
Out for yourself
Telling me that
I need help.

Jealousy
Out right suspicion
Wasted words
You never listened.

Late night calls
Deleted texts
What was coming?
What was next?

Picking fights
No reasons left
Casting blame
I can’t forget.

All the lies
The hate and scorn
Left feeling lost
Battered and torn.

I’ll never forget
The look in your eyes
The day that you left
When you said, Goodbye.

The passion, the lust
All the demands
Lying beside you
Holding your hand.

Roses and wine
Sex until dawn
Candlelight dinners
When did it go wrong?

All the excuses
Getting home late
Leaving me wondering
Making me wait. 

The cheating, no doubt
A game you would play
A means of deceiving
Of getting your way.

Never enough
To satisfy you
Too hard to be faithful
Honest and true.

Time and again
How many before
Have watched you walk out
Walk right out the door?

Stop trying to give me orders
Trying to tell me what to do
You’re not my boss or parent
I’m not listening to you.

So tired of feeling pressured
Tired of feeling I’m to blame
Tired of all your accusations
Tired of feeling so ashamed.

Get off my case, step aside
I’m not asking you for help
Don’t need your constant badgering
I can take care of myself.

Time and again, I wonder
How you got on that high horse
I’m tired of being bullied
I’m tired of being forced.

I won’t comply, it’s over now
I’m doing things my way
I’m standing up for myself
Doesn’t matter what you say.

Defensive, on guard
The walls and the shield
The fear and  the rage
The anger you feel.

Feeling unsure
Afraid and alone
Blaming, projecting
The pain all your own.

Unable to listen
Too angry to hear
Pointing a finger
To make your point clear.

Too soon to pass judgement
Too quick to decide
You’re  closing your mind
Believing the lies.

Conspiracy theories
Play on the weak
So easily molded
The small and the meek.

A pirate, a chiseler
Street vendor at heart
A wheeler, a dealer
Conniving and smart.

Always an angle
A quick sleight of hand
Always a motive
A trick and a scam.

Not to be trusted
With secrets or gold
A charmer whose snake oil
Is easily sold.

Beware and forewarned
He knows what to do
He’ll take what he wants
And leave nothing for you.
