So dark, so dark (Dark) {x2}

Inside lookin' out my window

I don't see nothin' but rain

Sun up in the sky just-a-shinin' (Just-a-shinin')

Still I'm lost in my shadow of pain (Mm-hmm)

Like an innocent man that's on death row

I don't understand what made U go

And wanna leave me, baby

Leave me in the dark

Can U tell me, tell me?

U took my sex and my money (Money)

Took all my self-esteem, yes U did

U had the nerve 2 think it was funny (Funny)

I never knew a bitch so mean, yes sir

U absolutely drove a man 2 tears

All I really know is that U sincerely

Wanna hurt me, baby

Oh, yes U do

U wanna hurt me in the dark

Sunshine - Somebody make the sun shine

Dark cloud - Somebody take this dark cloud away

Just as sure as Noah built the ark (That's how sure)

That's how sure I am U broke my heart

How could U, baby, leave me in the dark?

Baby, it's so dark

So dark, so dark (Dark)

Feel like the sun ain't never gonna shine

U left me in the dark

So dark, so dark (Dark)

I don't know, I don't know why we ever had 2 part

Baby, can't see a damn thing out my window, it's so dark

So dark, so dark (Dark)

Sometimes I want 2 curse the ground U walk on

Even when I know that everything U feel, I feel it 2

I wanna curse U, baby

Ooh, U left me in the dark

And now I want 2 curse U, baby (I wanna curse U, baby)

4 leavin' me alone, alone, alone (U left me in the dark)

Oh, yes U did

And now all I wanna say is

In the dark

Ow! U left me {x2}

It's like being on death row (In the dark)

I don't understand why U had 2 go

I don't understand why U (hurt me in the dark)

Don't understand why U (hurt me in the dark)

Don't understand why U hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me here!

Just leave me (In the dark)

(In the dark)

So dark, so dark (Dark) (In the dark)

So dark, so dark (Dark)

(In the dark)
