Analysis of THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE

Cornell G. Mack 1955 (Washington DC)



The look on your face said it all when you heard what I had to SAY
I no longer desire you someone new has taken your PLACE
You wanted to play games running around thinking you were SLICK
But I knew all along who you had been WITH
The best thing you can do right about now is pack your things and LEAVE
You've been unfaithful for the very last time this you can trust and BELIEVE
I put my all into you but you chose to lie and CHEAT
you meet with another guy that I know at least twice a WEEK
You didn't have the good sense to cover your own TRACKS
There's no need to go any further I already know the FACTS.
You put it out there for the whole world to SEE
the bottom line is you can no longer be with ME
You ask can we work this out what kind of fool do you take me FOR
Like I said my dear your bags are at the DOOR
Now you ask who is this Heifer { AUH,is she moving in NOW
It's not your business nor your concern for who I now have coming AROUND
Do I have to call the police to get you up out of HERE
Get your hat, get your gear you no longer live HERE
What part don't you understand you chose another GUY, I'm no longer your man and he's one of the reasons WHY
Now you're on your OWN this used to be your HOME
grab your bags and don't forget your PHONE
I use to have love in my heart for you but now there's nothing LEFT
 you chose a cook my gear but I'm a master CHEF
You played your hand wrong and sold yourself CHEAP
now that you're leaving I probably can get some SLEEP
All I can do for you now is wish you well and the BEST
You really did try my patience and put me to the TEST
A test that I know I passed because I no longer have to deal with YOU
You wouldn't be crying right about now if what I'm saying wasn't TRUE
As you can see my dear I'm doing OKAY
I no longer have to listen to what lies you have to SAY
So save it for the next guy I see now how you ROLL
a position in my life sweetheart you can no longer HOLD
I went along with your charade for as long as I COULD
the reason you got put out of here today is because you're no damn GOOD
One last thing that I have to SAY
give my keys and be on your WAY
there's nothing Left for you and I to SAY
So go right ahead and do whatever it is that you DO
the botton line is YOU AND I ARE THROUGH
