Cheating: I overheard your phone call earlier today

by Jay   Aug 16, 2004


I overheard your phone call earlier today
I caught your closing you said I love you in that kind of way
I\'m not even going to let you try to explain
Five years of my life down the drain

Coming home every night at a late hour
And your singing ushers \"you make me wanna\" in the shower
Now when I tell you it\'s time for you to leave
You look at me with those eyes like you just can\'t believe

I don\'t want to hear it anymore
\'Cause I\'ve heard it all before
All it is is talk baby and we all know talk is cheap
Who should know better baby than me

So keep all your empty promises and leave your sweet talk at the door
\'Cause there not welcome anymore

Don\'t think I\'m going to sit here dwelling on the past
I\'m moving on at that 50th chance was your last
Yes now it\'s time for me to move on
Stop singing this same old song
Yeah \'cause baby it does get old
I guess I should have listened to what my friends foretold

But it doesn\'t matter anymore
\'Cause I\'ve dried all my teas I\'m not doing this again like before
Oh yeah I\'m moving on
And now baby it\'s time for you to be gone

    Wonderful. The poem tells it like it is. We all give someone way more chances than they deserve. I gave mine 7 years worth of chances, my mistake. Be strong.
