I.O.U. - Locksmith, Rebecca Nobel

One time

Never mind the past

That was just one time

Couldn’t bear one time

One more chance

Bring it back one time

One time

Never mind the past

That was just one time

Couldn’t bear one time

One more chance

Bring it back one time

And I can’t explain what it meant to me

On the phone with my girl as she vents to me

It made sense, what I consider past tense

Had intense, but I pleaded ignorance in defense of me

Like lady why you tripping

In person it worsens, curses, screaming and kicking

You drop your bag as you was leaving in that cab

Turned around and threw a kiss off the glass like Pippin

Who are you to judge me, I cannot resolve this

You probably the only true friend I’m still involved with

But inside bitter, you told me that the day my mama died

A piece of me died with her

Yet and still you brought me back

Never quit on whats real, you taught me that

Life struggles and ills, we all react

But I could never second guess where I’m at and I owe you that

The more I think about us, I realize

You always were selfish

How hard I tried

The more you seem to doubt us

I see whats right

You’ll always be like that

One time

One time

Never mind the past

That was just one time

Couldn’t bear one time

One more chance

Bring it back one time

One time

Never mind the past

That was just one time

Couldn’t bear one time

One more chance

Bring it back one time

And I agree its much deeper than the surface

But as a man they teach you that’s where your worth is

So how can I judge a woman for her mind

When all I try to do is front so I can push her from behind

Life is not a cake walk, relationships are work

That’s what you used to tell me so how could I revert

Back to where we started from and I thought I was the shit

Cause I came to a fist fight with a starter gun

But got slapped in the face by reality

After we hooked up, I thought we was living happily

Actually what had happened was

I was too distracted by a fantasy to even see what happy was

Fucked around and gave you pain

Then I turned around and gave you blame

And I’m sorry for all of that

But I grew after every single spat

And I owe you that

The more I think about us, I realize

You always were selfish

How hard I tried

The more you seem to doubt us

I see whats right

You’ll always be like that

One time

One time

Never mind the past

That was just one time

Couldn’t bear one time

One more chance

Bring it back one time

One time

Never mind the past

That was just one time

Couldn’t bear one time

One more chance

Bring it back one time

And men are so emotionless with no heart

Thought I could change, but I think I got a slow start

No part of me, part of me you can part me

Partially told a lie, you can see it, you was so sharp

But so far, so good as far as we know

And we know, men are only faithful to their egos

Is that a weapon or a tool

Let me prove, I’m an exception to the rule

The more I think about us, I realize

You always were selfish

How hard I tried

One time
