As I walked through the door and my eyeys hit the darkness  I saw him alone at the bar.  I walked over to him  Said you may not know me  But I sure do know who you are    Don't worry my anger was spent long ago  And only the memory remains  But lord how I suffered, sometimes I still wonder  And maybe now you can explain    Tell me how could I love her so much  And then lose her so quickly to someone like you  How did you know how to hold her and please her  How did you know what to do    After all of the time I spent learning to love her  And be what she needed me to  Tell me how could I love her so much  And then lose her so quickly to someone like you    He said friend let me buy you a drink  And I'll tell you a story that's sad but it's true  How I loved her and held her till some slicker stole her  From me like I stole her from you    I guess no one can own her, her heart's like a soldier    Of fortune, her love's like the wind  And all I can think of is finding her new love  And asking this question of him    Tell me  How could I love her so much  And then lose her so quickly to someone like you  How did you know how to hold her and please her  How did you know what to do    After all of the time I spent learning to love her  And be what she needed me to  Tell me how could I love her so much  And then lose her so quickly to someone like you    How could I love her so much  And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
