I Haven't Met You Yet...

Warning...

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...
 

 What goes around, goes around, goes around 

Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

But
What goes around comes around
You should know that


Let me paint this picture for you, baby


You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone

Ain't that the way it goes
 

 So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy

You'll see

You should've listened to me, baby
 

 Because

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Hoje é o primeiro dia...

A princípio é simples anda-se sozinho
passa-se nas ruas bem devagarinho
está-se no silêncio e no borborinho
bebe-se as certezas num copo de vinho

Pouco a pouco o passo faz-se vagabundo
dá-se a volta ao medo dá-se a volta ao mundo
diz-se do passado que está moribundo
bebe-se o alento num copo sem fundo

E é então que amigos nos oferecem leito
entra-se cansado e sai-se refeito
luta-se por tudo o que leva a peito
bebe-se come-se e alguém nos diz bom proveito

Depois vem cansaços e o corpo frequeja
olha-se para dentro e já pouco sobeja
pede-se o descanso por curto que seja
apagam-se duvidas num mar de cerveja

Enfim duma escolha faz-se um desafio
enfrenta-se a vida de fio a pavio
navega-se sem mar sem vela ou navio
bebe-se a coragem até dum copo vazio

E entretanto o tempo fez cinza da brasa
e outra maré cheia virá da maré vaza
nasce um novo dia e no braço outra asa
brinda-se aos amores com o vinho da casa
e vem-nos à memória uma frase batida
hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida
