Long Kiss Goodbye

Every story has a beginning and end 
a good and bad guy, a plot and scheme 
but I guess I was looking for the 
fairytale with her and me I was just daydreaming

This is just another sad ending 
now in my mind she fell in love 
with a writer, you know my seductive sentences
but thru it all she made me wonder
what could make a woman make 
the same mistake twice 
that's like knowing it's loaded, but you gotta
pocket full of paper and still you roll the dice

But while I was outta sight she was busy 
trying to get right, deception is a terrible disease
and once a human being gets away with it once
it's almost like a nigga committing a crime
the greed is overwhelming ask yourself
are you a buyer or seller, a bad or good fella

The story is similar... maybe the same
another couple torn apart by choice not fate,
deception, unfaithfulness, infidelity
these are the actions that turn love to hate
you know when the heat is on you can't shake the jakes
but when one has been pushed but so far
and is so close to the edge 
their freedom is the next thing they pledge
releasing the chains from ones self 
and departing from what we call drama

This is the aftermath and I am 
that one that can't be reasoned with
I made my mind in this situation
I am the good, I've made my decision
it's no use trying to reach me 
it's like shooting at bullet proof glass
so, goodbye is what she can say to my a$$
