She spent half of her life a lookin for a better half to make her whole   Now she spends all her nights waitin' for a man who won't come home   She had half a mind to leave him she had half a mind to stay   She had half a tank in her Pontiac when she made her get away      She spent half that night drivin' to her sister's in Santa Cruz   She had half her life to think about and everything to loose   She took half a week to find the strength to finally make the call   Yeah she's better off takin' half than when she had it all      She said I'll take half of everything you own   I've been takin' half all along   Half of you love and half of you time   She can have the other half that once was mine   Half of their money half of their home aint worth half the nights spent alone   Well she was cryin' but she got the last laugh   She said honey, honey I'll take half         They met half way up the courthouse steps with their lawyers by their sides   They spent half that day dividin' up the past ten years of their lives   The judge said it ain't hard to figure out if you'll just do the math   Yeah Y'all started off with everything now you're endin' up with half         She said I'll take half of everything you own   I've been takin' half all along   Half of you love and half of you time   She can have the other half that once was mine   Half of their money half of their home    aint worth half the nights spent alone   Well she was cryin' but she got the last laugh   She said honey, honey I'll take half      She gave her whole heart to him when she said I do   Yeah her whole world came crashin' down after what he put her through   All her whole life revolved around the promises he made   All she had to gain ain't worth half the price she paid      She said I'll take half of everything you own   I've been takin' half all along   Half of you love and half of you time   She can have the other half that once was mine   Half of their money half of their home    aint worth half the nights spent alone   Well she was cryin' but she got the last laugh   She said honey, honey I'll take half      Well she was cryin' but she got the last laugh   She said honey, honey I'll take half
