I Showed Her

(album: Southern Star - 1989)

She told me I should straighten up my ways
Or she'd be walking 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 hurting 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 hurting 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 hurting too
If I could hold her now
I'd really show her...
