While all the time that I was lovin you
You were busy lovin yourself
I would stop breathin if you told me to
Now youre busy loving someone else
Eleven years, out of my life
Besides the kids Ive got nothing to show
Wasted my years, a fool of a wife
I shoulda left your ass long time ago
Well Im not gon cry
Im not gon cry, Im not gon shed no tears
No Im not gon cry, its not the time
cause youre not worth my tears
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave me at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times
Hook
I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health, til death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that youre leaving me
I dont get that part
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave me at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times
