NOT FOR ME

 

I can feel the door closing as I ask you where you been

You leave me here supposing on the who or why or when

Lately you been showing some new degrees of cold

You’re too hot to handle- you’re too hard to hold

The smile that you been aiming out for all the world to see

It’s as phony as your feelings and they’re Not For Me

 

You find your favorite outfit and them tight blue jeans 

Leaving little doubt the kind of business that you mean

The colors you been showing here are anything but true

They paint a perfect picture by things you say and do

You say you’re going shopping but there’s nothing that you need;

I know you’re getting something but it’s not from me.

 

            NOT FOR ME- This full length of your arm

            NOT FOR ME- The storm before the calm

            You distort – the truth to make you stronger

            Time’s too short- to wait on getting younger

 

I can feel the page turning as we go our separate ways

The bridge is still burning but I’m bound for better days

Fine job you did of looking out for Number One

Without a second thought about the damage that you done

Me- I’m a seeing both the forest and the trees

My foot’s out of the fire now that’s Not For Me
