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 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
If you let him drive you crazy, he will
