Before She's Gone

She's been working every day
For the most of her life
He promised things would change
If she'd be his wife

And since she really loves him
She said I'll marry you
Now she do regret, the day she said, "I do"

Cause every day gets harder
His drinkin' never ends
All his anger scares her
The violent vibes he sends

She tried to talk things over
But nothing good he says
She cries herself to sleep
She knows she just can't stay

Come on and open up your eyes
And stop those hurting lies
When your woman has lost her spark
Don't keep her in the dark

Come on and open up your heart
And make the teardrops stop
When nothings said and done
But not before she's gone
Inst.
When she comes home from work
Her man was drunk again
The house was like a mess
And she knew where he'd been

She had to roll her sleeves up
Start cleaning the floor
She knew this life was over
When he comes through the door

Come on and open up your eyes
And stop those hurting lies
When your woman has lost her spark
Don't keep her in the dark

Come on and open up your heart
And make the teardrops stop
When nothings said and done
But not before she's gone

When nothings said or done
But not before she's gone
