(A Deep Blues Woman Song)
Verse 1
You laid up beside me whisperin’ peace in my ear
Held me through the midnight while your lies sat near
Kissed me like forever, touched me soft and slow
Whole time behind my back… you was lettin’ another woman know
I cooked your pain for dinner
Wore your hurt like skin
And every time I trusted you
You let the devil in
Hook
So when I say “fuck you”…
Baby that’s what I mean
Ain’t no leftover love
Ain’t no in-between
You watched me love you honest
While you moved dirty and mean
So when I say “fuck you”…
That’s exactly what I mean
Verse 2
See betrayal hit different when your heart stay pure
Now I question every promise, every “baby, I’m sure”
You swore you hated cheaters
Said you’d never play that role
But the same thing you condemned
Was living in your soul
Now I don’t scream no more
I just get quiet and cold
Cause women like me learn early
Some love ain’t worth the hold
Hook
So when I say “fuck you”…
Baby that’s what I mean
You made loyalty feel foolish
And love feel unseen
I gave you all my softness
You handed back misery
So when I say “fuck you”…
That’s exactly what I mean
Bridge
I used to cry like thunder
Now I cry like rain
Soft enough to hide it
Heavy enough to stain
And every “I love you”
Sound different to me now
Cause a man can hold your body
And still let you down somehow
Final Verse
I ain’t bitter baby
I’m just done bein’ blind
A woman can survive heartbreak
But she don’t forget the signs
So keep your empty sorrys
Your late-night apologies
Cause the woman you broke open
Ain’t the woman leavin’ me
Outro
When I say “fuck you”…
Don’t ask me what I mean
You already know the answer
You just finally hearin’ me…
