Half

(album: Loose, Loud & Crazy - 2004)

She spent half of her life a lookin for a better half to make her whole
Now she spends all her nights waiting for a man who won't come home
She had half a mind to leave him she had half a mind to stay
She had half a tank in her Pontiac when she made her get away

She spent half that night driving to her sister's in Santa Cruz
She had half her life to think about and everything to loose
She took half a week to find the strength to finally make the call
Yeah she's better off taking half than when she had it all

She said I'll take half of everything you own
I've been taking half all along
Half of you love and half of you time
She can have the other half that once was mine
Half of their money half of their home ain't worth half the nights spent alone
Well she was crying but she got the last laugh
She said honey, honey I'll take half

They met half way up the courthouse steps with their lawyers by their sides
They spent half that day dividing up the past ten years of their lives
The judge said it ain't hard to figure out if you'll just do the math
Yeah Y'all started off with everything now you're ending up with half

She said I'll take half of everything you own
I've been taking half all along
Half of you love and half of you time
She can have the other half that once was mine
Half of their money half of their home
ain't worth half the nights spent alone
Well she was crying but she got the last laugh
She said honey, honey I'll take half

She gave her whole heart to him when she said I do
Yeah her whole world came crashing down after what he put her through
All her whole life revolved around the promises he made
All she had to gain ain't worth half the price she paid

She said I'll take half of everything you own
I've been taking half all along
Half of you love and half of you time
She can have the other half that once was mine
Half of their money half of their home
ain't worth half the nights spent alone
Well she was crying but she got the last laugh
She said honey, honey I'll take half

Well she was crying but she got the last laugh
She said honey, honey I'll take half
