I Don't Ever Want to See You Again

Early one mornin'

While you were asleep

I received a letter

But there was no addressee

So I paid it no mind, in fact

I wanted to send it back

But something that I was feeling

Said open it

It said, "Dear reader

Once close friend of mine

Hope that this letter finds you in time

'Cause your love is endin'

And my life's just beginnin'

With a woman that I know you hold dear to you"

And it made me wanna say

I don't ever wanna see you again

But I stuck by you till the end

And my conscience is clear

And I can move on from here

But I wish I could say the same for you, baby

I don't ever wanna see you again

But tell me why did it have to be my best friend?

That you were messin' around with

I didn't want to notice it

I was true to my love for you

It took me a minute to wake up and see

What the love of my life was doin' to me

I wanted to lay down and die

'Cause my pride wouldn't let me cry

But somehow I knew I had to get over it

He said he couldn't understand

Until he felt your touch

Now he can see why I love you so much

And that's so unfair

I never thought I'd have to share

Your love that I thought was given

To only me and that's why

I don't ever wanna see you again

But I stuck by you till the end

And my conscience is clear

And I can move on from here

But I wish I could say the same for you, baby

And I don't ever wanna see you again

But tell me why did it have to be my best friend?

That you were messin' around with

I didn't want to notice it

I was true to my love for you

And you say you love me?

And you said you love me, baby

Love must've been blind

Cause I sure didn't see this one comin'

I once was blind but now I see

My best friend, huh?

They say keep the ones you love close

Why'd you have to be so low down?

And your enemies even closer

But I can't win for losin', girl

You were the closest thing to me, baby

'Cause the one I thought was a friend to me

Ended up being my true enemy

Knowin' all of the pain you caused me

Listen to me, baby

I gave you everything

My love and my ring

And you violated me

And I don't wanna see you again

I don't ever wanna see you again

But I stuck by you till the end

And my conscience is clear

And I can move on from here

But I wish I could say the same for you, baby

I don't ever wanna see you again

But tell me why did it have to be my best friend?

That you were messin' around with

I didn't want to notice it

I was true to my love for you

I don't ever wanna see you again

Never would be too soon

But I stuck by you till the end

I'd rather have a cold day in June

And my conscience is clear

And I can move on from here

But I wish I could say the same for you, baby

Oh, Lord, I need you right now

I don't ever wanna see you again

But tell me why did it have to be my best friend?

That you were messin' around with

Didn't want to notice it
