I could not give you love
believe me I tried
had to walk away
from what you had going on
not that you were unkind
just that your life mine
could not find a way
be entwined
I saw your hurt face
the one I’d rather hide
turned mine away
picked up my stride
tho’ I had nowhere to go
I know you told people
I swear he has a Judy
somewhere tucked away
bitch there on the side
I found a cheap room
flopped down on the spot
picked myself up next day
a poor pay job by the hour
started over again slow
& it would be years before
we could talk once more
as friends
