Lyrics
Hell hath no fury like a woman scornedWhen the knock down drag out’s overAnd Lord knows she took one too manyWell, her blue jean eyes are too tired to cryAnd he won’t know ’til she’s gone already
If he ever loved her, he never let it showIf she didn’t need him, she’d left him long agoShe set it all on fire, and if there’s one thing that she learnedWranglers take forever to burn
How long? How much can a broken heart take?Who could blame her when it all goes up in flames?Not a one of us could’ve done betterNot with that wondering eye, wannabe Marlboro manCame as no surprise when she finally took a stand
If he ever loved her, he never let it showIf she didn’t need him, she’d left him long agoShe set it all on fire, and if there’s one thing that she learnedWranglers take forever to burnIf he ever loved her, he never let it showIf she didn’t need him, she’d left him long agoShe set it all on fire, and if there’s one thing that she learnedWranglers take foreverDamn, they take forever to burn
