Lyrics
Thing's all right and she's all too tight
In my neighborhood she cries both day and night
I know it because I was there

It's a milestone but she's down on her luck
And she's daily so lonely but to make hard earned buck
I remain

I believe where she's stoppin' if she wants time to care
I believe that she'd look upon deciding to care
And I go by the Lord in a way she's on my way
But I don't belong there

No, I don't belong to her, I don't belong to anybody
She's my prize-forsaken angel but she don't hear me cry
She's a lone-hearted mystic and she dain't carry on
When I'm there she's alright but when she's not when I'm gone

Heaven knows that the answer, she's don't calling no one
She's the way, her sailin' beauty for she's mine for the one
And I lost her hesitating by temptation does it runs
But she don't holler me but I'm not there, I'm gone

Now I'll cry tonight like I cried the night before
And I'm released on the heights in but I'll dream about the door
It's alone, she's forsaken by her fate, ways to tell
"It don't hang by formation", she smiled, said "thee well"

Now went out treat the layway I was born to love her
But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her
And I run but I race but it's not too fast to slim
But I don't perceive her, I'm not there, I'm gone

Well, it's all about dead years'n and I cried for her veil
I don't need anybody now beside me to tell
And it's all affirmation, I perceive but it's not
She's an old-hearted beauty but she don't like the spot
And she phoned

Yes, she's gone like the rainbow, the shining yesterday
But now she's home beside me and I'd like her here to stay
She's a unforsaken beauty and it's don't trust anyone
I wish I was beside her but I'm not there, I'm gone

Well, it's a too-hard to stakin' and I don't bother leave
It's so bad for abusing when she's hard, too hard to leave
It's unknown, it's a crime, the way she mauls me around
But she told, phoned to hate me, but it's doomed to make a clown

Yes, I believe that it's rightful, oh, I believe it in my mind
I been told like I said when I before, carry on the grind
And she's all to tole her, like I said, carry on
I wish I was there to help her but I'm not there, I'm gone
