hated like
the devil to tell her we were through
I was sure it would break her heart
and tear her world in two
She is such a fragile thing
Lord, I hate to make her cry
So I broke it to her gently
When I told her goodbye
She cussed me like a sailor
Kicked a hole through the kitchen wall
She threw a fit and threw the phone
halfway down the hall
She said, I'll be down at the bar
Then I heard the front door slam
I guess all in all,
she took it like a man
I was thinking she'd reach out
to me and beg me not to go
I run straight to her mama,
cause I'd hurt her soul
Thought she'd be devastated,
I had a ten -minute plan
Didn't think she could take it
But she took it like a man
She cussed me like a sailor
Kicked a hole through the kitchen wall
She threw a fit and threw the phone
Halfway down the hall
She said, I'll be down at the bar,
then I heard the front door slam.
I guess all in all, she took it like a man.
I guess all in all, she took it like a man.
