Early one morning 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 I hope that this letter finds you in time 'Cause your love is ending and my life's just beginning With a woman that I know you hold dear to you And it made me want to say
I don't ever want to 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 want to see you again But tell me why did it have to be my best friend That you were messing around with I didn't want to notice it I was true to my love for you
It took me a minute to wake up and see What the love of my life was doing to me I wanted to lay down and die 'Cause my pride wouldn't let me cry 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
I don't ever want to 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 want to see you again But tell me why did it have to be my best friend That you were messing around with I didn't want to notice it I was true to my love for you
And you say you love me? Love must've been blind 'Cause I sure didn't see this one coming My best friend, huh? They say keep the one's you love close And your enemy's even closer But I can't win for losing, girl 'Cause the one I thought was a friend to me Ended up being my true enemy
Listen to me, baby I gave you everything My love, and my ring And you, oh what you laid at me And I don't want to see you again
I don't ever want to 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 want to see you again But tell me why did it have to be my best friend That you were messing around with I didn't want to notice it I was true to my love for you
