THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE
(Written by Eddie Mugavero & Bob Dellaposta-Performed by Ronnie Godfrey)
Me and Bob were on a roll when we wrote this..we knew the idea wasn't totally original, but neither one of us ever heard this treatment...to this day, I still haven't heard a better version of this cliche.
THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE
I TIPTOED TO THE BEDROOM DIDN'T WANNA WAKE HER UP
I'D CATCH HELL IN THE MORNING AND THAT WAS SOON ENOUGH
AS I SLIPPED BETWEEN THE COVERS I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG
THE BED WAS COLD IT DAWNED ON ME...SHE'S GONE..
I FOUND A LITTLE LETTER LYING RIGHT BESIDE THE LAMP
SHE REALLY LET ME HAVE IT IN A WORD I'D UNDERSTAND
SHE DIDN'T PULL NO PUNCHES HIT ME RIGHT BETWEEN THEYES
BRIEF BLUNT TO THE POINT...'GOODBYE'
THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE
BUT I COULD READ BETWEEN THE LINES
IT TOLD THE STORY 'BOUT THE LONELY NIGHTS
AND ALL THE TIMES I MADE HER CRY
SHE DIDN'T BEAT AROUND THE BUSH
JUST ONE 7 LETTER NOTE
IN BLACK AND WHITE, 'GOODBYE'..THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE
SHE SPELLED IT OUT WITHOUT A DOUBT IN JUST A SINGLE WORD
SHE FINALLY FOUND A WAY TO SAY HOW MUCH SHE REALLY HURT
THAT LADY'S QUITE A WRITER..THAT I CAN'T DENY
COMPLETE NEAT SHORT AND SWEET...'GOODBYE'
