i can't love you right now

how can i say this without it soundin' heinous?
oh what the hell, Boo - aint no easy way to tell you.
'cause since i met you there's been reason enough to sweat you
and i bet you --- ain't no way i can forget you.

but I'm a hunter most happy when my belly's empty
nothing but contempt for the times i'm content.
you're more than any man could ask for
the finest angel God has ever sent.

but i can'tbe trusted
no question I'll get busted.
don't know when and where
but you know that i lusted.
to me it's clear that you're tired of being disguested
and that I can't bear 'cause i know it ain't fair.

chorus --

i can't love you right now
i just know
that i would hurt you somehow
so just let me go
you may think that it's foul
girl i know, i'm a ho
so i can't love you right now
let me go


what can i say? no excuse for my behavior.
this is me, i know the truth cuts like a razor.
you're proably thinkin once you thought i was your saviour.
well here's your freedom and don't say i never gave you

nothin. 'casue right now it's the best thing i can give you.
it's wriong to string you along girl and not give a
damn. you know my past, I'm an ass but not ruthless
and that's the reason why I've gotta do this.

you deserve better
i wrote that in your letter
although I meant "more"
since you're a go-getter
you'll find a new senor
'cause you're a good forgetter
and i thank God for all you have in store.

chorus

you've got my number just in case you wanna call.
if you need to talk, baby, I don't mind at all.
you were there for a brother each time that I would fall.
so for sister, i'm sayin', i'm gonna stand tall

but don't be breakin' you hear me
don't be givin up the drama 'bout the past
or i will pause you like a comma
and punctuate this conversation with a click
'cause I don't need that mess
(when the stress is already thick.)

i'm gonna miss you girl. i never meant to dis you.
see you at the pearly gates and here's another tissue.
i'm givin it to you straight, didn't want to cloud the issue.
or maybe it's just a test of fate, and we'll just have to wait.
