Monica - I Wrote This Song Lyrics

[Intro]
I can't believe he's gone
Why'd you leave?
Sometimes it hurts so bad

[Verse I]
He's the kind of guy that runs the street
But he treats me good
And he makes his dough illegally
That's how he's taking care of me
And I respect
The fact
That he's chosen that life
But it keeps me up late at night
And I just can't spend my time
Wondering where he's at
Is he okay
Wanna be by his side
But I commit a crime
Bonny to his Clyde
And I don't wanna live that way

[Chorus]
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I look him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote this melody
And I'm saying sweet goodbye

[Verse II]
Though he promised that he could never put me in harm's way
That it is something that he can't control
Cause the game
Remains the same
And now he says he wants out of it
But he's in too deep
And the only way that he would go is killing him or leaving me
So this is where I'm at
And it hurts so bad
That I had to choose
If I wanna live or die with you
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I looked him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
I'm singing sweet goodbye

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
I tried to give him hope
And promised him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away
A tear fell from my eye
And there'no turning back...there's only goodbye

[Chorus:]
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I looked him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
I'm singing sweet goodbye

[Repeat Chorus]
