SHE AIN’T THE KIND TO LEAVE 

She ain’t the kind to leave
And want to cause you pain
She ain’t the kind to leave
Without trying to explain

She ain’t the kind to leave
And want to put you down
But she’ll do it to keep
Her new man around   

There ain’t no goodbye kiss
As she’s walking to the door
She don’t want you thinking
That’s what she came here for

She says “I got to go,
A friend’s outside
No you don’t know him,
He’s just my ride” 

Maybe you should call her back
Maybe call her now
But you can’t give her what you lack
But it don’t matter nohow

’Cause she’s been through that before
And in any case
He’s waiting by the door
With her suitcase 

Sometimes you were cruel
Other times you were kind
It all depended on
How you felt at the time  

And when she quit asking
Where you had been
You got to thinking
You had won again 

But now you see yourself
In the mirror of her eyes
Look, she’s laughing
At your alibis

And ain’t it cold
To understand
The joke’s on you
And she don’t give a damn 

Maybe you should call her back
Maybe beg her to stay
And let you make tomorrow
Better than today

But she’s been through that before
And in any case
Someone’s already
Taken your place
