Dear Mr. Look So Good
Speakin’ of papers
This paper is to inform you I’m gone
Me and the furniture
Since you seem to be takin’ your good time gettin’ out
I let your dog, it’s two of y’all now
Your clothes, my brother’s wearin’ ‘em
All the ones I didn’t burn up or rip up
I wrote this song for you
Now let me hear you sing this one in the shower

Your kisses were more, holdin’ and wind
You could just look at me and do a thing to my mind
All too soon lips became blue
Then we lost each other in the same room
This will probably make you real, real mad
But he’s got the love you thought you had

Goodbye you, hello him
Goodbye you, hello him

I’m tired of takin’ your you know what
Free at last, leavin’ your butt
So goodbye you, hello him

Mmm...hmm...

I used to sit and just boo hoo
Ain’t it strange what a little love could come along and do
You’ve been dominoed, I stuck him in your place
And oh, by the way there are no more pimples on my face

Goodbye you, hello him
Goodbye you, hello him

He’s gonna bite these juicy lips tonight
I’ll let him practice till, ooh, he gets it just right
So goodbye you, hello him

The you I’m leavin’ is not the you I loved
So goodbye you, hello him

Somewhere along the way
You forgot that when I first met you
You couldn’t rub five nickels together to make a quarter
I stuck by you, I stuck up for you
Stood you up on your feet
And then you kicked me with one of ‘em
I gotta hand it to you though
You were a smooth talker
Gradually eased your raggedy stuff into my apartment
One suit at a time
Ate up my groceries, laid up on me
Laid all your little funky trips on me



If any food was put into the house
Guess who put it there
I had to be the man and the woman too
And that mushy stuff I used to write to you
Is now just some terrible poetry I’m about to burn
Now my new man he thinks my company is fun
I speak, huh, it’s done
Flowers, candy, dinner
Gentleness, attention, the whole works
He’s my magic man
A shame I had to leave home to get what I needed

I’m takin’ me away from you
Puttin’ old things aside, startin’ anew
He’s a tall good lookin’ hunk of man
Ain’t out there tryin’ to catch every thing he can

Goodbye you, hello him
Goodbye you, hello him

I’m tired of takin’ your you know what
I’m free at last, I’m leavin’ your butt
So goodbye you, hello him

I’m tired of takin’ your you know what
So goodbye you, hello him
Oh, I’m so tired of takin’ your, your you know what
Oh, so goodbye, goodbye you, hello him

Back to love, I’m tired, I’m tired of takin’ your, your you know what
Oh, so goodbye you, hello him
