Kiss Goodbye

Then a number on a piece of paper
She's feeling unappreciated
So she files it away for later
See you done got you a lot of passes
Sick of waiting on you to change
Cause you done gave her motivation
She's contemplating bout changing lanes
[Chorus]
You won't know it
It's a perfect disguise
She won't show it
But lips don't lie
(It's okay)
If she shows up with a couple Louie bags that you know you didn't buy
(It's okay)
If you're in the bed and her phone rings in the middle of the night
(It's okay)
If she says she was out with her girls and you know it's a lie
But if she kissed him that's your kiss goodbye
I don't want to be the one
Be the one who said I told you
She ain't trying to stick around
She gone find another shoulder
To take care of her heart
Don't be surprised if she walk away
Cause somebody else is waiting for you to slip so they can take your place
[Chorus]
You won't know it
It's a perfect disguise
She won't show it
But lips don't lie
(It's okay)
If she shows up with a couple Louie bags that you know you didn't buy
(It's okay)
If you're in the bed and her phone rings in the middle of the night
(It's okay)
If she says she was out with her girls and you know it's a lie
But if she kissed him that's your kiss goodbye
Don't let her get away
Don't make her pay for your mistakes
You'll be lying to yourself if you think
She won't be with someone else
If you really want to make it right
Be the only one on her mind
What goes around comes back around
And you don't want to be short
[Chorus]
(It's okay)
If she shows up with a couple Louie bags that you know you didn't buy
(It's okay)
If you're in the bed and her phone starts ringing in the middle of the night
(It's okay)
If she says she was out with her girls and you know it's a lie
But if she kissed him that's your kiss goodbye
The lyrics to Avant's song Kiss Goodbye tell the story of a woman who feels unappreciated in her relationship and begins to contemplate leaving. She starts by talking to her partner but nothing changes, so she begins to gather evidence of his infidelity. She eventually enters into an affair with another man, and the chorus of the song suggests that the man will never know that she's unfaithful until it's too late. The chorus also implies that the woman's lips don't lie and that, while she may be keeping the affair a secret, her partner will know the truth when she kisses the other man.
The song encourages men to appreciate their partners and to make an effort to keep them happy. The lyrics suggest that if a man doesn't treat his partner well, he risks losing her to someone else. The song is a warning to men to be aware of their partner's feelings and to make an effort to keep their relationship strong.
Overall, Avant's Kiss Goodbye is an insightful song about the consequences of taking a partner for granted. It encourages men to be more attentive and to appreciate the women in their lives.

Life is magic and charm.
It is necessary to preserve the beauty,
of our hearts ...
Knowing how to look with purity of soul.
Breathing as if we were born, every moment ...
Act calmly and serenely.
Grow a flower, dive into clean water ...
Hear a Melody. Thank life.
Do not let the charm dissolve before the world ...
Our main mission in life,
it is not knowing or understanding, everything that exists.
But make the most of it.
Life is sweeter for those who carry love in their hearts ...
Love is an answer to all that,
that doesn't need a question.
Life is not to be understood, just lived,
and we must take advantage of it, every day to the fullest.
For we do not know which of these days will be the last ...
Show! ... An Excellent Video and Beautiful Music. It rocked.
A Great Edition. Congratulations. A Beautiful Post. Thanks! ..
A big hug. A Beautiful Day and a Beautiful Thursday ...
