Life Is Too Short
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This one of them, this one of them, this one of them jams y'all
This one of them, this one of them, this one of them play all night
This one of them, this one of them, this one of them air balls
This one of them, this one of them, this one of them make you feel right
It's been a while since we had a conversation
And last time wasn't the best
So here I go I'm picking up the phone
I got to get something of my chest
Now in spite of the news you heard I'm telling you
That I don't have another man
And I never did you dirty baby
It's taken two months but now that I see the best things your doing
[HOOK]
(Just let it pass)
Move on, let "by-gones" be "by-gones"
That's what I gotta do
Just let it breathe,
'Cause life is too damn short to be wasted hating you
[CHORUS]
'Cause when it gets down to it,
I still love you
Gets down to it,
I'm thankful for the times you were here,
Gets down to it,
I still adore you
Gets down to it,
And life is too short for tears
Now even though it ain't cool,
You know we need to talk about why we had to split
And why we never did work it out
You got an ego, you don't ever back down,
I got one too, you know what that's about,
But I've been thinking about you lately,
Concerned for your safety, I never wished bad on you
Even though you did me dirty baby
It's time to break the silence
I can no longer fight it with the things your doing.
[REPEAT HOOK]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
This just ain't for me and my love,
This goes out to you and your love,
Shake off your pride, it'll tear you down,
Pick up the phone and work it out (you can work it out).
Because it takes a real man to admit his mistakes,
And it takes a real woman to do the same,
You got to check for him, you can still check on him,
And let him know how you feel
This is...
This one of them, this one of them, this one of them jams y'all
This one of them, this one of them, this one of them play all night
This one of them, this one of them, this one of them air balls
This one of them, this one of them, this one of them make you feel right
[REPEAT HOOK]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
