Left Me -- Lonely

She used to tell me that she loved me all the time

I'd turn to her and say that, I'm, Infatuated by your lovely smile

And someday soon we're gonna walk the isle

She'd say, "You're my everything, my strength for life"

Be the mother of your children as well as your wife

She used to tell me all the time, I'm her one and only

But she ran with another man and left me lonely

Coincidental, how I met her, but when I've seen her, I knew that I'd get her

Can't let her step, she looked too good

But my wears made me seem like a stone-cold hood (hood)

I'm a lucky guy, so I press my luck, I step to her, ah-what the-

Went her way, took a few steps past her, got the nerve, and then I asked her (ask her)

I said, "Yo, baby," and she started to reach, I said, "Wow, don't get excited, that's a figure of speech"

She told me her name, gave her number and all, and when I stepped, she said I better call (call)

It took about a month, but she was finally mine, everything was going smooth, we were doin' fine

After a while it wasn't nothing, we were either holding hands or she was under my wing (my wing)

She used to whisper in my ear, I'm her one and only

But she ran with another man and left me lonely (lonely)

Girl, why'd you have to leave me that way? I love you to this day

And it hurts to think of the words you used to say (say)

Girl, why'd you have to leave for so long? I never did you wrong (wrong)

And it seems we had such a love that was so strong (strong)

On the day she broke out, would you believe I cried? And it hurts so much to think of how she lied

I shared everything to the very last penny, somethin' that you really can't do with many

Since this young lady was such a big winner, I'd treat her all the time to a candlelight dinner

Have a violinist play a real sweet song, and she never showed a sign that somethin' was wrong

My boy used to say, "Man, Shan, I'd quit her, but she seemed so happy every time I'm with her"

We used to hold hands and walk in the rain, and on the days I felt down, she eased my pain

This was just too far-fetched to believe, to think that my girl would just up and leave

Imagine that, I just couldn't, 'cause I knew deep down in my heart she wouldn't

All of a sudden a lot of things changed, she started actin funny, I mean a bit strange

We had little squabbles, arguments, fights, wild stories in the days and stayed out nights

I'd say, Baby, where you been for all that time? She cuddled me close and say that I'd

Be the one that she call her only, but she ran with another man and left me lonely

Girl, why'd you have to leave me that way?

I love you to this day (this day)

And it hurts to think of the words you used to say

She put it to me plain, couldn't put it no clearer, lipstick written on the bedroom mirror

Said, "I'm leaving you now, and I know that you'll miss me"

You're probably saying, "Damn, man, why she dissed me?"

But, you see, I felt that it was time to go, then I packed my bags, and I'm leavin', so

You take care, and I hope you live long, and don't worry, there's nothing that you did wrong

You'll find the right girl someday, you'll see why I'm the type of woman that must be free

I said, why me? And fell to the bed, reached for the nine, and put it to my head

And thought about the words that she once said, "Shan, you know that you're my one and only"

But she ran with another man and left me lonely

Oh, oh, oh, oh girl, oh my girl, why'd you have to leave? (Leave?)

Leave me so (so) sad, girl, you broke my heart (my heart)

Oh, you drive me wild (drive me wild), you leave me by myself (myself)

All by myself (all by myself-self), girl, I don't know how to do (how to do-to do)

I'm so mad (I'm so mad), girl, you drive me wild (girl, you drive me wild)

Ooh, so wild (so wild), baby, drive me crazy (drive me crazy)

Leave me by myself (leave me by myself), leave me all alone (alone-lone)

By the phone (by the phone), girl, I don't know what to do (I don't know what to do)

I'm so mad (I'm so mad), girl, you drive me wild (girl, you drive me wild)

Oh, so wild (so wild), when I saw you leavin' (leavin')

Makes me want to cry (cry-cry), girl, I'm breaking down (down-down)

Breakin' down (breakin' down)

Yo, I don't know what to do (I don't know what to do, love, love)
