Growin' up in the gutter Once upon a time in an apartment home Lived a little girl with a heart of stone Cause part of her heart was partly gone Rarely seen and hardly known Treated like a mat on a boxing ring Blood drop stains on the twin box springs

We sent the summer out in style She's gone but she left me with a smile I laugh when I start to think about us ?Cause she was mine for a little while Hot sun, dancin' on the river We'd sit on the bank and watch the world roll by Our feet in the water,

Goodbye, so long! Don’t wait home for me darling, I’m not coming home! Draw the blinds and set the alarm, 'Cause I’m not coming home In the morning you will rise With in your eyes 'Cause I’ll be gone,

You better kiss me 'Cause you're gonna miss me when I'm gone Oh oh you're gonna miss me when I'm gone I'm still hurtin' from the last time You walked on this heart of mine I can't find much to believe in You let me down so many times Heaven knows how I

Carrying your love with me 'Cause I'm carrying your love with me West Virginia down to Tennessee I'll be moving with the good Lord's speed It's my strength, for holding on Every minute that I have to be gone I'll have everything I'll ever need Baby all

Everytime, cause we don't play Ain't no sunshine when it's on Only darkness every day Ain't no sunshine when it's on, cause when it's on Ya niggas know to be gone, everytime, cause we don't play It's dark, and hell is hot "who turned out the lights?" is
