I found the truth in an act of deceit
A hidden camera device, whole room in view
She needed justification, she chose to cheat
My heart split in two
It's not over until im dead
My ex is trying to kill me
Two close calls and im not the first
My biggest mistake the worst
[Pre-Chorus]
She says the desert keeps its secrets
I hear her footsteps in the heat
I changed the locks, I killed the porch light
Still feel her breathing down the street
[Chorus]
I fell for a black widow named Nena
She wore Orange coming out of Perryvile
Every kiss tastes like a warning bell
Stab to the back a living hell
In Arizona, where the dry hills burn
I learned some hearts don’t break—they turn
[Verse 2]
She met me at a motel with a plan in mind
With a switchblade moon and a crooked grin
Said, “You can leave your past behind”
Then let the midnight trouble in
My fiancée’ turned devil is what i see
Snoopn' low, running on hate, no sound
Nena took my trust handed me poison
Said, “Baby, I love you, with 4 guys around”
[Pre-Chorus]
The sheriff calls it coincidence
The preacher calls it love gone bad
But I know the difference between love & poison
And the mercy I never had
[Chorus]
I fell for a black widow named Nena of Glendale
She wears the clothes I bought
Her sex is the sex i taught
pull her hair its my name she'll yell
In a motel, where all guest get a turn
I learned some hearts don’t break—they turn
[Bridge]
If she comes again, I won’t freeze
I’ve got the truth and she'll drop to her knees
Nena says, “Choose the life you need”
So I say "get to suckin" thats what I need
[Instrumental Break]
[Final Chorus]
I fell for a black widow named Nena from Ventura California
No white dress, no church, no fairy tale
She taught this wounded man to guard himself
And leave the dead love on the auction shelf
In Arizona, where the dry hills burn
I learned some hearts don’t break—they turn
Yeah, they turn
[Outro]
The sun comes up on the desert floor
I don’t wait by that locked front door
Nena wants me dead & i want her to disappear
With a hard lesson learned and a clean rearview mirror
I fell in love with a "black widow"
Now that she can't have me she wants me dead
But I WON'T DIE
no I wont die
