lyrics

Is it alright to feel angry though she did nothing wrong?
I was the one mistreatin' her all along
I don't care if it's right or not I know what I see
She's a man eating soul crushing woman to me

She is a beauty that's how it begins
She looked in my eyes and she showed me her skin,
and she'd take me home and treat me like a king sayin',
"Baby, tonight, you can do anything."
And sometimes she'd fix me up dinner real fine
No real occasion, but she'd buy bubbly wine
She'd kiss my ear, tell me I'm her only one,
But I know what she's at. She's just havin' her fun

Cos' she's a man eatin' soul crushin' woman to me
I know she's lyin' when she's nice as can be
And when she tells me the sweetest things
It just makes me bluer
Cos' I know the truth yessir I see right through her

I met her parents. They were the best
I kept them laughin' and they kept me fed
Which is why I can't trust 'em cos' my jokes are all dirty
And her dad never cut in when her mom was bein' flirty
So I don't know what her game is,
but they're in it together
Which is why I gotta leave now, man, light as a feather
If I see her again I'll say, "You never loved me.
You were just looking down
You were always above me."

Cos' she's a man eatin' soul crushin' woman to me
I know she's lyin' when she's nice as can be
And when she tells me the sweetest things
It just makes me bluer
Cos' I know the truth yessir I see right through her

I know the truth. Yessir. I see right through her
