[Verse]
A Bm C Bm
Ive been run down
Ive been lied to
And I dont know why I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money
Wrecked my new car
And now shes with one of my good time buddies drinking in some cross town bar.

[Verse 2]
A Bm C Bm
My friends tell me
That I've been such a fool
And I have to stand by and take it, babe all for loving you.
I drown myself in sorrow.
Cause I look at what you've done.
But nothing seems to change. The bad times stay the same, and I can't run.
[Pre-Chorus]
