All She Wrote Lyrics

I got home late on a Saturday night
And I knew right away something wasn't right
I knew she was gone

She took all I had but, left a hole in my heart
Should've known it would go bad, right from the start
What did I do wrong?

I can't understand why she would leave me this way
With nothing to say
Then I found the note on the door
It said good-bye and she don't want me no more

[Chorus]
"Bye bye baby, bye bye....", She said in her letter
And that was All She Wrote
Guess this is goodbye, guess this is forever
And that was all she wrote

I called on the phone, but she wasn't there
Should've know all along that she just didn't care
Why did she have to go?

Now I look at her picture and I wonder why
She left me this way...-Why did she say goodbye?
I guess I'll never know

I can't understand why she would leave me this way
With nothing to say
I remember the note on the door
It said good-bye and she don't want me no more

[Chorus]

All She Wrote Song Chart

"All she wrote" is a phrase meaning the end - it's something you might say after a sporting event has been decided or a party is ending. In this song, the phrase has a double meaning, as it indicates the end of a relationship, and also what the girl who leaves him wrote in her note announcing her departure.

The song was the fourth and final single from FireHouse's debut album, which was a hair metal landmark featuring their biggest hit, "Love of a Lifetime."

FireHouse lead singer CJ Snare wrote this song with guitarist Bill Leverty. Some of the band's songs are inspired by personal experience, but not this one. Snare says that he heard someone utter the phrase "And that was all she wrote," which gave him the idea for the song. He wrote the story backwards, starting with the premise that the poor guy should have known it was coming when he found the letter saying his girl was leaving.

Don't Treat Me Bad Lyrics

I never thought you'd hurt me
I guess you live and learn
That when you're playin' with fire you're bound to get burned
I've been mistreated, I've been used before
I get kicked in the face still I come back for more

But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces and start it all again
Let's just get back to the way it was before
Oh, girl I can't take anymore

[Chorus]
Baby, Don't Treat Me Bad
Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
(Well) you can do anything, but baby, don't treat me bad
Oh, don't treat me bad

I gave it everything, but you threw it all away
I can't take anymore of these games that you play
I've been through heartache and I've been through pain
And it's hard to believe you still treat me this way

But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces and start it all again
Let's just get back to the way it was before
Oh, girl I can't take anymore

[Chorus]

Oh girl, I can't take anymore, oh yeah, now listen to me

[Chorus]

Don't Treat Me Bad Song Chart

FireHouse is best-known for their sweeping power ballads, but before "Love of a Lifetime" came this song, which is an upbeat rocker about a guy who gets mistreated by his girl but can't give her up. Released as the band's debut single, it made an impressive showing on the US charts, but it soon became clear that these hair metal upstarts would be known for their love songs.

A band composition, this one was not about a specific person. In our interview with FireHouse frontman CJ Snare , he explained: "Sometimes songs really are personal and sometimes they really, really aren't. I remember sitting down at the piano and coming up with that chord progression, but it sounds really different on piano, obviously, than it did on guitar. I had the first verse, bridge, and chorus, and then I brought it to the other guys in the band and we hammered out the rest of the song. Mostly Bill [Leverty, guitarist] and myself."

The women in hair metal songs were often either heartbreaking vixens or deceitful dames getting a kiss-off. This song is a combination of both, as the singer can't give her up, but also warns her that he might be the best thing she's ever had. These songs blending swagger and vulnerability could help bolster a band's male fansbase, offsetting the wuss factor of their ballads.

FireHouse was clearly trying to introduce a devious and somewhat psychotic female character with this song, as evidenced by the video (directed by Mark Rezyka), which intercuts concert footage of the band with a girl destroying his stuff (Not my Hendrix poster!). The album cover also portrayed a lady of the unhinged variety, showing her in the foreground with a smoldering match while a house burns down behind her.
