I Showed Her

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
