I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore

He's got it in his mind his leavin's hurt me

That I sit and cry while he paints the town

All this time he's thinking that I need him when really it's the other way around

I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore

[ steel ]

I'll wait here by the phone a few nights longer

I'll give him every chance to save his heart

He's only out dancing with a new love just to keep from falling all apart

I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore
