I Wrote This Song

(I can't believe you're gone)

(Why'd you leave me?)

(Sometimes it hurts so bad)

He's the kind of guy that runs the streets

But he treats me good

And he makes his dough illegally

That's how he's takin' 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 commit a crime, Bonnie to his Clyde

And I don't wanna live that way

I love my baby so

But he's not here no more (No more)

Hard for me to understand (Understand)

So I wrote him this song (Wrote him this song)

Couldn't look him in his eyes

Knew I couldn't change his mind (Oh)

So I wrote this melody

And I'm singing sweet goodbye

Though he promised that he will never put

Me in harm's way

That is somethin' that he can't control

'Cause the game remain the same

And now he says he wants out of it

But he's in too deep

And the only way that he will go

Is killin' him or leavin' me

So this is where I'm at, and it hurts so bad

That I had to choose

If I wanna live or die with you, oh, baby

I love my baby so

But he's not here no more (Not here, babe)

Hard for me to understand

So I wrote him this song (I wrote you this song)

Couldn't look him in his eyes

Knew I couldn't change his mind (Oh)

So I wrote this melody

And I'm singing sweet goodbye (Yeah, yeah)

I love my baby so

But he's not here no more (Why did you go?)

Hard for me to understand

So I wrote him this song (Wrote him this song)

Couldn't look him in his eyes

Knew I couldn't change his mind

So I wrote this melody

And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I tried to give him hope

And promise to my life

But I don't know what made him want to lead this life

And as he went away (Went away)

A tear fell from my eye (My eye)

And there's no turnin' back

There's only goodbye

I love my baby so (Oh, baby)

But he's not here no more (Woo)

Hard for me to understand (Oh-whoa)

So I wrote him this song (I wrote you this song)

Couldn't look him in his eyes

Knew I couldn't change his mind (Oh, he cried)

So I wrote this melody (I need you)

And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I love my baby so (Sweet goodbye, baby)

But he's not here no more (He's not here)

Hard for me to understand

So I wrote him this song (I wrote this song, baby)

Couldn't look him in his eyes

Knew I couldn't change his mind

So I wrote this melody (Oh)

And I'm singing sweet goodbye

I love you so (I love you)

And need you so, it's hard to imagine my life here without you

(I loved you)

I love you so (It hurts so bad, baby)

I need you so, it's hard to imagine my life here without you

(And I sing, and I sing) (Without you, without you, without you)

(Without you)

Oh, goodbye, baby

Oh
