Intro

 1.I hated like the devil

  To tell her we were through

  I was sure it would break her heart

  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

 C.She cussed me like a sailor

  Kicked a hole through the kitchen wall

  She threw a fit and threw the phone

  Half-way 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

2.I was thinking she'd reach out to me

And beg me not to go

Or run straight to her momma's

'Cause I'd hurt her so

Thought she'd be devastated

I had a tender moment plan

I didn't think that she could take it

But she took it like a man

Repeat Chorus
