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
