Something New

Baby I can’t live a lie
And I know one day we must die
So I just have to say goodbye
Standing on the drifting sky
And that’s so hard for me to do
'Cause you love me and I love you
After all that we’ve been through
I’m searching for something new
Thought about jumping the broom, now I think that I was jumping the gun
I had you over the moon, now you want everything under the sun
I must admit it, we had a wonderful run, now look at what we’ve become
Sorry for venting, but I ain’t Hilary Clinton, girl ain’t no holin' my tongue
You say that I’m always in a bad mood
I’ve been Fat Joe with the dance moves
Had to lean back, didn’t know how you would react especially when your soul is
tattooed
And you always say I don’t report back, treat the studio like it’s Cancun
And you girls say that I’m a dirt bag, always try to put me in a vacuum — Damn!
So effervescent — girl it’s a blessing to be in your presence
Valuable lessons wrapped up in your essence
But girl we’ve been dating since our adolescence
Deep conversations 'bout where we were headed
We’d fornicate and then stare at the crescent
Although we’ve come to the end of the road, I tell you Godspeed on the highway
to Heaven
I wish you nothing but luck
I want you running it up
I hope you harbor no hard feelings
«Lamb To The Slaughter», 'cause Lord willing —
We’ll meet again and we can be friends or butterflies in another life
I’m going solo, my cup aside
Trying a bolo, not cutting ties
Baby I can’t live a lie
And I know one day we must die
So I just have to say goodbye
Standing on the drifting sky
And that’s so hard for me to do
'Cause you love me and I love you
After all that we’ve been through
I’m searching for something new
