Sammy's Shadow

“Don’t know why I love you

Don’t know why I love you”

Sammy’s shadow never leaves me

These other women can’t seem to appease me

Sammy was a girl that I fell in love with, typical club chick, that had more flavor than a Sunkist

Met her in September, wiped her by November

Dated one semester, Left her then forget her

Calculated moves, socialite agenda

Didn’t care for you, I was her favorite letter

Hair done, with the makeup nice

Wiped up but she was more like the breakup type

Always hit the club, didn’t worry ’bout a backlash

Life full of problems, I ain’t talking math class

Fightin’ every night, never needed that trash

Left just to come back, whole lot a packed bags

Sorority chick, didn’t like it but did it in spite

Of just to feel important and shit

Always worried ’bout how she looked

Got good grades for the status but didn’t give a fuck about the books

They say emotions run deep, she never let them show

Drown ‘em out, she drinking on a steady flow

‘Cuz the cover up couldn’t cover up enough

Good skin, the cover up was just a bluff

Sexy in a dress nonetheless, she still shy

Confidence was low - had to wear heels high

Sammy never was an easy fix, always quittin’

Chick would up and leave me quick

Always bitchin’, always on some needy shit

Selfish, never came to see me pitch

Uh, and I hated her for that

I needed her to be there

And I hated her for that

I broke up with Sammy, couldn’t wait to leave

Told her what I thought, emotions on the sleeve

Fast-forward a year, life’s a lot different

Top of the world but something still missing, yeah

Y’all know the half of that

Whatever we had, can we have it back?

“I’m just a lonely man, like my sanity

Wishing I could find a match, my mind ain’t what it used to be…”

“Don’t know why I love you

Don’t know why I love you”
