SELL THE MEMORIES

By Mychael John Thomas

In the beginning it was sweeter than honey
But sooner or later it’s all about the money
She said I need a God fearin’ man of ability
One who can offer me financial stability
I said baby you know better than that
Havin’ true love don’t always mean your wallet’s fat
She couldn’t dig it so she said goodbye
And I ain't gonna spend no more time wonderin’ why

CHORUS
IF THE WITCH WON'T STAY...Sell the memories (4)

She said you’re sexy and you turn me on
I want your body but I need you to leave me alone
I think I love you but I just don't know...
I know I’m wrong but I just can't let you go
Then she tried to make me mad so I’d be the one to say
Goodbye…But I can't do it that way
I let her be the one to cut that line
And now I sing conviction in every rhyme

CHORUS

She said she really had issues with control
It don’t take too long for that to get old
I hung in there with her as long as I could
But I could see that it wasn’t gonna turn out good
I cut my losses and decided to let her run
I must admit takin’ her out woulda been more fun
But I rolled the dice and this is where they landed
I walk away empty hearted but not empty handed

CHORUS
CHORUS

SOLO

“Ooh Baby what’s this thing?”
“That’s a Sitar Baby” I said, “It’s an Indian thang”
Her Moma said, “Why you wanna do that for?…
Why you wanna do that for? ”

My mama always said you can't get blood from a stone
But I keep tryin’…I still keep rockin’ on
I guess I can't stop believing’ in people
But at times I must confess some of them are just evil
So one more good time in a melody
One more dream that true love is gonna come to me
And now I’ll just go on singin’ my songs
Even if it means I have to sing it alone

CHORUS
CHORUS

“Why you wanna do that for?”
“Because…I like it”
Huh…Huh!

Sell the memories…
Sell the memories…
Sell the memories…

“Why you wanna do that for?”
