When you call she doesn't answer, when you write she doesn't answer You go out you see him with her, she told you she was sick at home The ring you gave her thrown away with all the letters And when you see him with her, he doesn't even care at all
As she follows him around like you follow her around He doesn't even care and you’re figuring out The only way your gonna keep somebody around Well I'm about to let you know
There's something I don't wanna understand The only way a woman is gonna want a man The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands Is breaking apart her heart Don't tell her she is the reason that you live Don't give her everything that you got to give If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live Just break it apart her heart
Can't you see she’s the way she's crying? Well that’s what keeps her trying; she knew that she could have you And he don't give her what she wants There's truth about this, you say you want to be noticed Well if you want to be noticed you gotta learn to break some hearts Don't try to understand
There's something I don't wanna understand The only way a woman is gonna want a man The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands Is breaking apart her heart Don't tell her she is the reason that you live Don't give her everything that you got to give If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live Just break it apart her heart
Can't you see what you've done? What I've become, what I've become Can't you see? Can't you see?
I don't understand this cruelty I don't understand but now I see
There's something I don't wanna understand The only way a woman is gonna want a man The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands Is breaking apart her heart Don't tell her she is the reason that you live Don't give her everything that you got to give If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live Just break it apart her heart
I don't understand this cruelty I don't understand... it’s just not me I don't understand this cruelty But now I see
