All Good Things - Haiku D'Etat

I had you 1st they had you 2nd

It took many dates before I saw you naked

I respected that

The average cat would hit and never call you back

But that ain’t me and I had to get in contact

I courted you

I can’t believe I was able to have afforded you

She high maintenance but down to Earth

Found in her what no other woman had

To be my lady on steady basis

Look at me chasing till I caught it

So much body my naughty girl with me tonight yes

Sexy in the black innocent in the white dress

A stimulating conversation piece

Plus yeah she hate it when I’m out of commission for weeks

Memories that I don’t wanna forget

A lotta shoulda would coulda I ain’t gonna regret

But uh… we did invest a lot of time with each

Other I can’t believe the love contract’s breached

Like I said it was good some of the time

I guess the good times don’t last

Like, love, youth, wealth, life

Togetherness, health and our very last night

We once had love — that time has passed

Cause all good things they say never last

The young get old and life’s too fast

Cause all good things they say never last

Once was rich now you got no cash

Cause all good things they say never last

The good die young and that’s so sad

Cause all good things they say never last

You can’t take none of it witcha

It’s such a pretty picture when you first get hitched

I missed the way you was before you switched

Call it the honeymoon period

Till your voice hits a certain pitch then the eclipse

Sunny days to rainy ways drain my energy

Running out of my own house

All because of your mouth

I was a devout and loyal spouse

Now I cruise the couch

With hotel vouchers and food stamps

Lousy out look on you tramp

I’ve been ousted flowers grow bloom and die

Hang them upside down to dry

Money comes money stacks

Till they hit you with that tax

People kick it then they kick rocks

Or kick the bucket back to the essence

Magazine queen so serene so supreme

Till I woke up from the dream

Now I’m hoping she’ll just give me back

My computer screen and the keys to my machine

To keep some things you got to let them go to grow

Some good things don’t last

Damn it was beautiful

In & out without a doubt but I was stupid through

But that don’t kill you that just make you sweat

But I regret to let it go as far as that see

Love is live when you young

And better when you’re older

And instead of the cold shoulder

Should’ve tried to hold her

But hold on is what they say

And that’s what you told her

But you can’t hear the truth

Cause you’re running your motor

Top of the world baby we did it

I wish it could last forever & stay committed

One of the best times in my life I admit it

Still they take 'em away and they break it up & split it

Better savor the moment remember every component

Analyze the skies cause you don’t own it

That’s right forward forever backwards never

But I think back a little just to get my mind together

And every now & then I read a old letter

Don’t take for granted the time you have with your loved ones

Cause some things don’t last
