Here’s a conversation with a girl who should have known
That I was not the kind of man that she could ever hope to own
She didn’t know where I lived and we didn’t talk on the phone
But I was welcome in her bed when I couldn’t stand to be alone
Her real name was Mary but her street name was Simone
I’m not calling her a bitch but I was just giving her the bone.
It was early in the morning and I had to start my day
But I sat there quietly listening to what she had to say
Honey I know you don’t want me in more than a physical way
And I know it’s no use telling how I feel or begging you to stay
But there’s something you should know before you go on your way
Every time you take my body a piece of my soul gets thrown away.
I didn’t want to be mean but I couldn’t lose control
So I laid it on the line and let her know what was her role
Girl I paid for your body and I got no use for your soul
So stop with all that talk because we are even, on the whole
Why mess with our arrangement when we had a common goal
We rocked throughout the night and now its time for me to roll.
She did her best to hold her tears and save a little pride
But the truth that she was hurt was a fact she couldn’t hide
I just left her staring at my back as I turned to go outside
And she asked softly, “See you tonight?” choking a bit as she cried
With my back still turned “I’ll be out of town a few days,” I lied
“I’ll see you on the corner,” I added, knowing well what that implied.
Peace and Love,
