She said, 'Mama, he's tall, dark and handsome' Like daddy was, twenty years ago And tonight he's gonna want an answer It gets harder all the time to tell him, 'no'.
And she said, 'Mama, I think he really needs me' Ain't this the way that love was meant to be? It broke her heart when I started cryin' These words I'd hoped she'd never hear from me.
The man always gets what he's after Then leaves you just over the hill You oughta understand why it's over If you let him drive you crazy, he will.
Well, she heard me but she just didn't listen She followed her heart right to his bed But there in the darkness she wonders As my words keep runnin' through her head.
The man always gets a-what he's after Then leaves you just over the hill You oughta understand why it's over If you let him drive you crazy, he will.
