I Showed Her

She told me

I should straighten up my ways or she'd be walkin' out

But 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 laying 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...

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
