Under a sweat soaked sheet
poisonous kiss
The tongue of a reptile
I never once thought that i would miss

You know that i’ve really grown
Now since i’ve been alone
I’m taking care of myself
Took out your books from my shelf
Got all my stuff sorted out
Now i know what life is all about
And i’m so glad that we’re through
I’m so happy aren’t you? 

But if i had my way
You’d beg me to stay
And i would never let you go
No i would never let you go 

She’s got that boy in a trance
My friends said watching us dance
I said i might need a rest
As i put my hand on her breast
I took her to the backyard
Where i thought i’d play my best card
But for every queen i received
She’s got a king up her sleeve

But if i had my way
You’d beg me to stay
And i would never let you go 
No i would never let you go
