The saints are coming I say no matter how I try I realize there's no reply How long now? I cried to my daddy on the telephone The line went But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent There is a house in New Orleans They call the risin'

This is the long goodbye Somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kinda love keeps breaking a heart No matter how hard I try I always make you cry Come on, baby, it's over let's face it All that's happening here is a long goodbye

I can’t, I can’t lie to you No matter how much I’ve tried No matter how much I try Can’t lie to you, I can’t lie to you, uh No matter how many times I’ve No matter how many rhymes I’ve I got it all in my mind I got it all in my mind, and I can't lie to

Nothing can't mash up me and me bonafide Such a beauty, you're a cutie, every man hypnotize Coulda never lead me stray no matter how hard them try True you see me hesitate, nobody think say me shy Them put the after call me for me, finna me roll me eye
