Ultimate family treason happening when someone you love passes away.

lyrics

BLACK WIDOW (lyrics & melody: Ysabel Gagnon 96 et ajouts en 2011/ musique: Guy Cardinal ©2011)


VERSE 1:
A FEW YEARS AGO, YOU THREW DUST INTO MY EYES.
IT TOOK ME TIME TO WIPE IT OFF, NOW I CAN SEE YOUR TRUE COLOURS.

VERSE 2:
GUESS I SHOULD’VE KNOWN, YOU WERE UP TO NO GOOD
I WAS BESIDE MYSELF GRIEVING, YOU WERE PLANNING YOUR MASTER SCHEME.

VERSE 3
WAS LEFT PAYING DEARLY, FOR ALL OF YOUR CRAZINESS
HAD TO FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL, AND FOR THAT I HAVE NO REGRETS

VERSE 4:
I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE, THE END OF THAT ROAD.
I LEARNT HOW TO COPE WITH THE PAIN, BUT IT 'LL NEVER FADE AWAY.


CHORUS:
YOU WANTED A PIECE OF HIM, YOU WANTED A PIECE OF ME.
BUT HE KNEW DAMN WELL, WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY, MICE WOULD PLAY.
OH YOU WANTED A PIECE OF HIM,YOU WANTED A PIECE OF ME.
BUT HE KNEW DAMN WELL, WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY, MICE WOULD PLAY.


VERSE 5:
YOU, BLACK WIDOW, GOT HIM STUCK ONTO YOUR WEB.
THE ONLY WAY HE COULD ESCAPE, WAS ASKING FOR GOD'S DELIVERANCE.

VERSE 6:
ALL YOU WANTED WAS MONEY, PRESTIGE & A SUGAR DADDY.
SOME THINGS CAN BE FORGOTTEN, BUT FORGIVEN NO WAY.

VERSE 7:
I TREATED YOU AS FAMILY, GAVE YOU BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
BUT GREED GOT THE BEST OF YOU, IT SQUASHED AND DESTROYED OUR BOND

VERSE 8:
WHAT HE DIDN’T GIVE YOU, YOU JUST STOLE FROM ME
MADE EVERY SINGLE ONE BELIEVE, SPITTING LIZARDS AND TOADS WAS REALITY


CHORUS

Solo KEYS & GUITAR

VERSE 9:
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW NOW, WHAT YOU’RE CAPABLE OF
I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE, WHAT YOU WERE WILLING TO DO TO HAVE IT ALL

VERSE 10:
YOU MADE UP THEM AWFUL LIES, SO YOU CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT
BUT YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN IN YOUR SOUL, YOU SURELY GOT AWAY WITH A CRIME

VERSE 11:
I HEARD ABOUT THAT SNAKE, THAT BIT YOU IN THE HEART
ALREADY POISONED TO THE CORE, YOU DIDN’T EVEN FLINCH SOMEHOW.

VERSE 12:
DON'T EVER TRY TO FIND ME, I HAVE OTHER FISH TO FRY,
BUT STOP TELLIN' PEOPLE THOSE LIES, 'COS, HE TOLD ME THE TRUTH BEFORE HE DIED.

CHORUS
