SEE THE BODY

Description: Guitar
I can't believe it's over
Between you and me
We were good together
We were meant to be
But now you're trying to tell me
You got somebody new
And I can hear you talking
I just can't believe it's true
No I've got to see the body
Before I can grieve
Got to see this woman
Who is making you leave me babe
I've got to bear witness
With my own two eyes
I've got to see the body
Then I can cry cry cry cry cry yeah
She's a real good looker
Says your friend Dwayne
She's a burnt-out hooker
Says my friend Mary Jane
She's a young cheerleader
She's an ex-Marine
She's a guy named Peter
I really just got to see, I got to see
Got to see the body
Before I can grieve yeah
Got to see this woman
Who is making you leave me babe
I got to bear witness
With my own two eyes
I got to see the body
Then I can cry cry cry cry cry
I'm gonna cry a long time
And now I'm waiting in my Bonneville
For you to step outside the Sportsman's Grill
With your new sweetheart honey turn me on
Just one little look
And I'll be long gone
I've just got to see the body
Before I can grieve
Got to see this woman for myself
Who's making you leave me babe
I got to bear witness
With my own two eyes
I've got to see, I gotta see what she looks like, mm
What she's got on me
I gotta see that for myself
