| [00:45.08] |
He liked to keep his women looking nice |
| [00:48.11] |
And tried to pay her phone bill |
| [00:49.60] |
But she turned him down twice |
| [00:51.77] |
Even though her life wasn't sunny |
| [00:53.70] |
She felt him she didn't know him well enough to take his money |
| [00:56.73] |
Instead, she recommended quiet dinner |
| [00:59.48] |
Maybe next weekend and she could find a babysitter |
| [01:02.85] |
Her daughter was three and she was twenty-one |
| [01:05.09] |
With, dreams of marriage and having a son |
| [01:07.70] |
But most times she felt like she'd never find love |
| [01:10.87] |
So she drank away the pain in blood stained night clubs |
| [01:14.00] |
And when home with men that acted like thugs |
| [01:16.80] |
Addicted to the night life, like drugs |
| [01:19.62] |
But regrets of the morning after always caught her |
| [01:22.44] |
Waking up with men unfamiliar to her daughter |
| [01:25.52] |
Even though they gave her an escape from lonely days |
| [01:28.24] |
She never felt better than when they parted ways |
| [01:30.72] |
|
| [01:31.03][Hook] |
|
| [01:31.24] |
Oh there's no.. excuse for loving.. |
| [01:41.61] |
(Inaudible) |
| [02:16.90] |
|
| [02:25.52][Verse] |
|
| [02:28.27] |
"Nothing special," she thought when his path crossed her mind |
| [02:31.58] |
He could never be the one, just, occupy her time |
| [02:34.43] |
And fill the lonely days that'd become so basic |
| [02:37.30] |
Since her heart was torn from the broken off engagement |
| [02:40.39] |
Two years ago and three states away |
| [02:42.87] |
But by the look in her brown eyes you would've thought it happened yesterday |
| [02:45.95] |
Now this new with intention to impress |
| [02:48.64] |
Bought her tennis shoes and a brand new summer dress |
| [02:51.83] |
If you could see the smile on her face |
| [02:54.52] |
And how it washed away the work week's bitter taste |
| [02:57.34] |
Plus this was the week of her born day |
| [03:00.08] |
The sun ray in a life of all work and no play |
| [03:03.35] |
He said he wanted her to spend it with him |
| [03:05.99] |
But, she said she'd already committed to her friends |
| [03:08.91] |
He denied her invitation to come along |
| [03:11.71] |
And told her to call when she got home |
| [03:14.27] |
|
| [03:14.50][Hook] |
|
| [03:14.87] |
Oh there's no.. excuse for loving.. |
| [03:25.50] |
(Inaudible) |
| [03:48.54][Verse] |
|
| [03:49.11] |
She pulled into the parking lot |
| [03:51.75] |
Startled when she saw him standing right behind her in the dark |
| [03:54.78] |
Demanding she tell him who she slept with today |
| [03:57.27] |
Smelling the liquor on his breath she began to walk away |
| [04:00.35] |
He grabbed her by throat yanked off the gold chain |
| [04:03.30] |
And almost smiled, satisfied at her pain |
| [04:06.36] |
He though of this her reward for being unfaithful |
| [04:09.26] |
Lifted from her feet tears roll down her cheek |
| [04:12.16] |
And terrified, she closed her eyes |
| [04:14.56] |
While the storm made it impossible to hear her cries |
| [04:17.98] |
He knew this, and struck with a clenched fist |
| [04:21.79] |
And told her he wasn't stupid |
| [04:23.88] |
She's now pinned to the ground |
| [04:26.78] |
With his hand on her mouth to muffle the sounds |
| [04:29.27] |
Knee planted in her chest until breathing hurt |
| [04:32.19] |
He said she forced him to take back his tennis skirt |
| [04:35.17] |
Much stronger she offered very little resistance |
| [04:38.33] |
To him taking back the clothes that he'd given |
| [04:40.94] |
Then he cocked back his fist for one last blow |
| [04:43.89] |
And left her in the parking lot knocked out cold |
