Once More

Men, who send mixed messages,
Who can't break themselves free from her,
Even though they know they are going too,
But then, can't stand the thought of her being alone

They know they are going to tell her
That thing's have changed, come up
In their lives, and they have to go...

She just smiles, and makes it easy for them
To depart, to go back to whatever life they think
They'll have without her,

They are surprised by her lack of emotion,
Or sadness that they are leaving,
She will never beg a man to stay,
If they need to go,
She sets them free
without hesitation,

Some men,
Don't seem to know what to do with that,
Want to come back
One more time,

Once her door closes
Behind them,
There's no going back
