3. 가사
| [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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, no, yeah 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 one's you love close (Why'd you have to be so low down?) And your enemy's 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 [Chorus] 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 (so clear) And I can move on from here (move on from here) But I wish I could say the same for you, baby (I'm gonna say a prayer for you baby) I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't wanna see you no more) 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 [Chorus] 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 (So clear) And I can move on from here But I wish I could say the same for you, baby (I need you right now, but...) I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't ever wanna see you. You know I don't really need you) But tell me why did it have to be my best friend? (You walked around, let me down, feels so good you're not around) That you were messin' around with Didn't want to notice it... |
