When I was young, I saw things very much in black and white. I thought that I could protect myself with legal contracts and that people really cared about the truth but I found out that a legal contract is not worth the paper that it was printed on and people will always favour the man with the charm no matter what they do. You can sit and brood, but dwelling on the past will eat you up inside. Being betrayed, is difficult to live with, some people just walk away from those who are toxic, others hold on and make excuses. 

Writing songs is like taking therapy, all the demons come out and dance across the page. There is something good about being frustrated and unhappy. You battle to understand the situation by writing things down, the music oozes up and the melody soothes the soul. Imagination of what could be said and done hits the page and the song is written. In this case, it is this song that I would like to share with you, it is a song that I wrote a lifetime ago, but never recorded. This is my first song for 2021 and for all those who have been slighted, may be this is the song for you.

Verse 1
I’ve got my eye on you, I know of all you do.
I’m not the fool you think you know so well.
I’ve watch you in the light, I’ve watched you in the dark.
You think that you have got it all worked out.

Verse 2
I watch your every move and I must say you’re really smooth.
How many fools have you betrayed in all the years?
But there’s justice here at work, behind the smiles they lurk
and pretty soon, you’re going to learn.

Chorus
Cause I’m here at last just to take what you have stolenl
I’m here to take what’s mine.
For the pain, you see, well this guy, he ain’t forgotten.
Behind the smiles, well I’ve got you beat.

Verse 3
You think that you’re real smart, you think you’ve fooled this one,
but I let you play the games you love to play.
Enough rope you will hang, so I ask you please go on,
you’re going to pay for all you’ve done.

Chorus
Cause I’m here at last just to take what you have stolenl
I’m here to take what’s mine.
For the pain, you see, well this guy, he ain’t forgotten.
Behind the smiles, well I’ve got you beat.

Verse 4
Broken dreams because of you. You made me look a fool.
I am going to get you now, I’ve even thought of how.
I’ll make you regret the day that you ever passed my way.
Revenge it tastes so sweet, yes I will make you weep.
You will really look the fool, when I say goodbye to you.
I know you’ll be amazed, this fool will have his day.
But the beauty of it all is that I show the truth to you.
But you’re so blind you cannot see that I’ve got you beat.

Chorus
Cause I’m here at last just to take what you have stolenl
I’m here to take what’s mine.
For the pain, you see, well this guy, he ain’t forgotten.
Behind the smiles, well I’ve got you beat.Behind the smiles, well I’ve got you beat.(c)1985 John Robert Hunter
