A piece of paper in my hand
Says that we are through
That sybolizes and advises,
I'm not married to you
It was a piece of paper,
That made our marriage start
But now a piece of paper,
Has tore us both apart
This piece of paper tell us,
That we're no longer wed
But it doesn't say here
That my love for you is dead
This little piece of paper,
Means that we're apart
This paper is the reason,
I have a broken heart
Why do we listen to a paper
And let it run our life
But this paper i have here
Says we're not man and wife
This is the piece of paper,
I know they gave to you
But it will not change the fact
That i'm not over you
If a book of matches,
Made this paper go away
Would we listen to the words
The paper has to say
Can a piece of paper take away
The love i have for you
But still a piece of paper,
Tells us what we have to do
Why do we listen to a paper
And let it run our life
But this paper i have here
Says we're not man and wife
This is the piece of paper,
I know they gave to you
But it will not change the fact
That i'm not over you
If this piece of paper were a man,
We would go toe to toe
Then i'd tell that paper,
Where i think that it should go
This piece of paper has a name,
They cal final decree
That tiny piece of paper
Took my love away from me
Why do we listen to a paper
And let it run our life
But this paper i have here
Says we're not man and wife
This is the piece of paper,
I know they gave to you
But it will not change the fact
That i'm not over you
