The Intervention


Listen bro we need to have a conversation

I know it may not be something you want to hear

But it is something I very much fear

You may think that it is just my imagination

 

Your girl is just using you for your money

She doesn't care about your well being

To this I hope you will eventually be seeing

She just covers it up and butters you up by calling you honey

 

Why do you say these things about my future wife?

Your words are cutting through me like a knife

 

I know it may hurt, but it's in your best interests

She does not care about your mental or physical health

She is a sneaky and conniving little minx who is stealing all your wealth

Your relationship needs to lie in a grave and be put to rest

 

So you care about my health?

I bet you only want her for yourself

 

It's not like that at all

Haven't I been there when you were down?

Made you smile when you wore a frown?

Why in sadness would I want you to fall?

 

You're just jealous of how I'm living

I will never forget this misgiving

 

She has no job, no passion, no ambition

She asks you for money and you give it

She treats you like a bucket of spit

Why I felt I must come forward with this admission

 

I can't believe what I am hearing

I'm out and done, I can't believe I thought you were caring

 

You have always come to me for advice, as for your girl I have an issue

Your bank account is emptying out

With other men she is going out

Just know I say these things because I love you
