I Wrote This Song

He's the kind of guy
That runs the streets
But he treats me good
And he makes his dough illegally
But's how he's taking care of me
And I respect the fact that
He's chosen that life
But it keeps me up late at night
And I just can't spend my time
Wondering where he's at, is he okay?
Wanna be by his side
But I'd commit a crime
I need to decide
If I don't wanna live that way

I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
I looked him in his eyes
Though I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

Though he promised that he would never put
Me in harm's way
That's something that he can't control
The game remains the same
Now he says he wants out of here
But he's in too deep
And the only way
That he will go is
Killing him or leaving me
So this is where I'm at
And it hurts so bad
I've got to chose
If I wanna live
Or die with you (oh, baby)

I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
I looked him in his eyes
Though I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I tried to give him hope
And promise him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away
The tears fell from my eyes
And there's no turning back
There's only goodbye

I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
I looked him in his eyes
Though I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
I looked him in his eyes
Though I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I love you so
I need you so
It's hard to imagine
My life here with you (without you)
I love you so
I need you so
It's hard to imagine
My life here with you
Without you
Without you
