I used to wonder why

A girl would cry and cry

Just because some fool guy

Has run out on her



Don't she know life goes on

Even when love has gone

Cold and alone at dawn

Since he run out on her



Now I know, now I know the feelin'

Now I know, lord, I know



And I have heard it said

A girl can hang her head

Until her pride is dead

When he run out on her



And all the friends she knew

When she was married, too

Have other things to do

Since he run out on her



Now I know, now I know the feelin'

Now I know, lord, I know



I used to wonder why

A girl would wanna die

Just because some fool guy

Has run out on her
