I Don't Ever Want To See You Again

Uncle Sam · Uncle Sam [2008]

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 wanna say



Chorus:

I don't ever wanna see you again(i dont, i dont)

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 i no i)

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



Repeat Chorus



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, violated me

And I don't wanna see you again



Repeat Chorus

I Don't Ever Want To See You Again
