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
