I can stand it as long as she can
Cause I just don't need her anymore
She's got it in her mind her leavin's hurt me
That I sit and cry while she paints the town
All this time she's thinking that I need her
When really it's the other way around
I can stand it as long as she can
Sause I just don't need her anymore
I'll wait here by the phone a few nights longer
I'll give her every chance to save her heart
She's only out dancing with a new love
Just to keep from falling all apart
I can stand it as long as she can
Cause I just don't need her anymore
[ piano ]
I'll have another smoke here while I'm waiting
Just one more drink to help the time go by
If she could see me she'd think I was crying
But it's just that the smoke gets in my eyes
I can stand it as long as she can
Cause I just don't need her anymore
