When you call she doesn't answer, when you write she doesn't
answer
You go out you see him with her, she told you she was sick
at home
The ring you gave her thrown away with all the letters
And when you see him with her, he doesn't care at all

As he follows him around like you follow her around
And he doesn't even care and your figuring it out
The only way you'r gonna keep somebody around
I'm about to let you know

There's something I don't wanna understand
The only way a woman is gonna want a man
The only way ya'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart
Don't tell her she is the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you got to give
If you want to keep a girl for as long as you live
Just break apart her heart

Can't you see the way she's crying
Well, that's what keeps her trying, she knew she could have
you
And he don't give her what she wants
There is truth about this, you say you wanna be noticed
Well if you wanna be noticed you gotta learn to break some
hearts

Don't try to understand

There's something I don't wanna understand
The only way a woman is gonna want a man
The only way ya'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart
Don't tell her she is the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you got to give
If you want to keep a girl for as long as you live
Just break apart her heart

Can you see what you've done?
What I've become, what I've become
Can you see? Can you see?

I don't understand this cruelty
I don't understand but now I see

There's something I don't wanna understand
The only way a woman is gonna want a man
The only way ya'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart
Don't tell her she is the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you got to give
If you want to keep a girl for as long as you live
Just break apart her heart

I don't understand this cruelty
I don't understand its just not me
I don't understand this cruelty
I don't understand but now I see
