Advantage Gone
|
| |
You rarely looked at or greeted me,
whenever you entered the door;
You never helped to clean the house,
Not even to sweep the floor.
Whenever I wanted to talk to you,
you told me you didn’t have the time;
When it came to paying the household bills,
you never put in a single dime.
When we talked, you were impatient,
as if I were a child;
You watched my cable television,
paying nothing, but laughing loud.
If ever I wanted to go somewhere,
you made me pay the bill.
You always ordered the best food and drink,
while I watched you have your fill.
Now that I’ve asked you to leave my house,
you say you don’t know why;
Well, now you’ll have plenty of time to think about it,
‘Cause this woman is saying good-bye.

No Return
|
| |
Didn’t we break up last week?
Didn’t you tell me we were
No longer in harmony,
That you had moved on to a
Higher Plane of Reality
With another woman?
Didn’t you take all of your things last week?
Wasn’t that you explaining
Why we were no good for each other
As you packed everything you owned or bought,
Including the small oscillating fan?
Wasn’t that you who broke my heart
By telling me I would find someone else
“More Compatible” than you?
That someday I would find the right man?
Well, I’m sorry your new love didn’t work out,
But after our break-up, I was broken up
Until I realized that I hadn’t lost it all
Just because I lost a man.
I saw that the way you broke up with me
Was not the act of a lover,
But the act of someone
Who had been Playing Undercover.
So, in only one week, I am together again,
And our break-up is
Just fine with me now.
Good-Bye.

It's Time to Go
|
| |
I’m ready to let you go now;
I don’t want the hurt any more.
I can finally say good-bye,
Because you have pained me to the core.
I’m ready to let you go.
It’s time for me to close the door
On the agony I’ve felt for so long.
Too much of your abuse I have stored.
I waited for you to change,
But you lingered in giving me love;
I can’t stay and ache anymore;
It’s time for you to walk out the door,
‘cause I’m ready now to let you go.

Jumping Ship
|
| |
It’s time for me to get up off this
Sinking Ship,
Where men crawl through my life
Like mice,
Constantly looking for my cheese to eat,
While I pay and get a whisker in my face
Every now and then
In return.
It’s time for me to row my boat shore,
Where I can land on solid ground,
So I can breathe fresh air, and dew,
And see flowers blooming,
Instead of the rotting corpses
Of all the other women
You’ve had and burned.
I’ve paid my dues;
Now I refuse
To stay on board and
Continue to lose
My self-respect,
So I’m jumping ship
By leaving your ass.
Farewell to All, you Fools!!
Stay on this ship,
And you’ll continue to lose.
Get off that moldy deck
Where insanity rules,
And regain your self-respect.
Jump off that dirty mast,
And leave his crusty ass!

Good-Bye #3
|
| |
I know that sending this card
Instead of telling you in person
Makes me a coward and a jerk;
But I couldn't face telling you
That I am breaking up with you.
I don't even have a good reason why,
Except that I want out of the relationship.
Please forgive me for sending a card;
It's better this way for both of us.
Good-Bye.

Good-Bye #1
|
| |
I wish I could say more,
Or at least explain why
It's over between us.
Instead, all I have to offer
Is my regret that it didn't work out
for me.
Good-Bye

I'm Free
|
| |
Baby, since you left,
You’ll never know the joy I felt
When you packed your bags,
Walked out, and slammed the door.
Now that you’re gone,
At last I finally see
I was aching to be free.
****************************************
And now I’m free – yes I’m free!
Free to be the woman I want to be;
No chains to tie me down,
Keeping me from seeing what I want to see,
I’m free to be who I want to be.
****************************************
You really treated me bad, baby,
I just want you to know,
That when you left, I was so so glad,
Cause now I can go where I want to go.
****************************************
And I’m free! At last I’m free!
I’m being the kind of woman I want to be;
No chains to tie me down,
You know, right now,
I think I’ll go Downtown,
And I’m gonna see what I can see,
Cause now, I’m free!
