She told me I should straighten up my ways or she´d be walkin´ out I guess I was just too blind to see or maybe just too proud So I never thought twice when she loaded up her things and drove away
´Cause I knew she´d be back someday, I knew she´d be back Took off my work clothes and left them right there on the floor ´Cause I knew she´d pick ´em up When she got home like a hundred times before And just to make it easier for her, I left the light on on the porch ´Cause I knew she´d be back someday, I knew she´d be back I guess I showed her how much she had to lose Showed her who was really who I know she´s hurtin´ now Looks like I showed her I must have seen the movie of the month a dozen times or more I watched my favorite team play ball but I never heard a score
´Cause the whole time I was listening For the moment when she´d walk through the door ´Cause I knew she´d be back someday, I know she´ll be back I guess I showed her how much she had to lose Showed her who was really who I know she´s hurtin´ now Looks like I showed her If I could I show her how much she had to lose I´d show her I´ve been hurtin´ too If I could hold her now I´d really show her
