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 it out
the only way your gonna keep somebody around
well i'm about to let you know
there's something i don't wanna really understand
the only way a woman is gonna want a man
the only way ya'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 breaking apart her heart
can't you see the way she's crying
well thats 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 really understand
the only way a woman is gonna want a man
the only way ya'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 breaking 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 really understand
the only way a woman is gonna want a man
the only way ya'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 breaking 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
