Although I'll admit to being a little naive
Lying was always my pet peeve
But for many women it's so easy to conceive
Should I whip the horse until it sleeves?

There are those who are better off alone
Because they can slice you all the way to the bone
It might just be your voice that sets them off with your tone
Perhaps you just weren't in their zone,

So I entered into your world with good intention
I didn't need any honorable mention
I should have had more apprehension
But I thought I was involved in an ascension,

For the first time in my life too good to be true
Meant that I foolishly believed in you
Now only God can help me see this through
And Lord I do cling to you,

The third time was supposed to be the charm
I never meant to enter into harm
With all the red flags it never set off an alarm
Was it a crime to want to be in your arms?

The third time was a real back breaker
When a giver is devoured by a taker
When the servant becomes the master
A broken heart can never out last her,

Part of it was my foolish pride
Satan whispered and to myself I lied
The sorceress laid the trap and gently sighed
Self destruction became my only guide,

When I saw what you did to your spouse
I should have realized the fire needed to be doused
Then I should have asked was I a man or a mouse?
Or was I as a shotgun to a grouse?

Had I a crystal ball I would have known I'd be forsaken
Not just innocently mistaken
Now my entire world has been shaken
If only by a mother ship I could have been taken,

The third time was supposed to be the charm
I never meant to enter into harm
With all the red flags it never set off an alarm
Was it a crime to want to be in your arms?

Oh yes in the end fate punishes the fool
Who dares to flaunt the golden rule
I was a stepping stone just a tool
Your eyes became deep dark pools.
