LOVING YOU WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME

Well, my mama tried to tell me what a girl like you could do.
I didn't believe her, then you made he words come true!
Although she warned me my fool eyes refused to see.
So I fell for you, now loving you will be the death of me!
Just like most girls you promised to love me to death.
Only little did I know it would be such a long, painful death!
Only thing I'm guilty of is trying to love you in the first-degree.
Is that why loving you is gone be the death of me?!
You didn't kill me the first time you broke my heart.
Not the next ninety nine times you left me out in the dark!
And I kept coming back all the times you left me in misery.
Which is why I say loving you will be the death of me!
My daddy died when I was a young men.
Mostly I listened to him still I fell short of his plan!
He told me to find a good woman her love would set me free.
Well, I found you and loving you will be the death of me!!!...
