Uncle Sam - I Don't Ever Want to See You Again (LP version) Lyrics

Early one mornin' while you were asleep
I received a letter but there was no addressee
So I paid it no mind, in fact, I wanted to send it back
But something that I was feeling said open it

It said, "Dear reader, once close friend of mine
Hope that this letter finds you in time
'Cause your love is endin' and my life's just beginnin'
With a woman that I know you hold dear to you"
And it made me wanna say

I don't ever wanna see you again
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you, baby

I don't ever wanna see you again, no, yeah
But tell me why did it have to be my best friend?
That you were messin' around with
I didn't want to notice it
I was true to my love for you

It took me a minute to wake up and see
What the love of my life was doin' to me
I wanted to lay down and die
'Cause my pride wouldn't let me cry
Somehow I knew I had to get over it

He said he couldn't understand
Until he felt your touch
Now he can see why I love you so much
And that's so unfair
I never thought I have to share
Your love that I thought was given
To only me and that's why

I don't ever wanna see you again
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you, baby

And I don't ever wanna see you again
But tell me why did it have to be my best friend?
That you were messin' around with
I didn't want to notice it
I was true to my love for you

And you say you love me?
Love must've been blind
'Cause I sure didn't see this one comin'
My best friend, huh?
They say keep the one's you love close
And your enemy's even closer
But I can't win for losin', girl
'Cause the one I thought was a friend to me
Ended up being my true enemy

Listen to me, baby
I gave you everythin'
My love and my ring
And you violated me
And I don't wanna see you again

I don't ever wanna see you again
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you, baby

I don't ever wanna see you again
But tell me why did it have to be my best friend?
That you were messin' around with
I didn't want to notice it
I was true to my love for you

I don't ever wanna see you again
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you, baby

I don't ever wanna see you again
But tell me why did it have to be my best friend?
That you were messin' around with
Didn't want to notice it
