When they ask about us

As friends always do

Remember the good times

Honey, we had a few

I'll never condemn you

I'll take all the blame

You got a good answer

When they speak my name

Just say she's a rhymer

And rhymers get restless

Just say that she's out there in search of a song

I know I hurt you

But I never meant to

Just say she's a rhymer

Just say she's gone

You know that I loved you

You know that I tried

You know that it hurt me

Each time that you cried

When your crying is over

And your new life begins

I won't be around much

So when you see our friends

Just say she's a rhymer

And rhymers get restless

Just say that she's out there in search of a song

I know I hurt you

But I sure never meant to

Just say she's a rhymer

Just say she's gone

Just say she's a rhymer

Just say she's gone
