i wrote this song

i can't believe he's gone

why'd you leave?

sometimes it hurts so bad

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

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

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

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

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
