I used to wonder why
A girl would cry and cry
Just because some fool guy
Has run out on her

Don't she know life goes on
Even when love has gone
Cold and alone at dawn
Since he run out on her

Now I know, now I know the feelin'
Now I know, lord, I know

And I have heard it said
A girl can hang her head
Until her pride is dead
When he run out on her

And all the friends she knew
When she was married, too
Have other things to do
Since he run out on her

Now I know, now I know the feelin'
Now I know, lord, I know

I used to wonder why
A girl would wanna die
Just because some fool guy
Has run out on her
