You Know How She Is Lyrics

I stopped in to Kelly's Bar, a place I rarely go

I saw him sittin' all alone, lookin' mighty low

He tossed a shot of whiskey down, and grabbed the next in line

And then I recognized his face, and he looked up at mine

So he called me over, said"Let me buy you one"

My ex-wife's third husband told me"I think I'm done

I've tried every way I can, but now I've come to see

That I can't take it anymore" and then he said to me"You know how she is, I guess it's nothin' new

She takes everything for her, till nothin's left for you

I found out the hard way that what they said was true

You know how she is" and I said"Yes I do"

I knew all too well, what he was goin' through

Everything he talked about was what I'd been through too

The screams, the fights, the kitchen knife I got her to put down

So I said"Man, I hear you" and bought another round"You know how she is, I guess it's nothin' new

She takes everything for her, till nothin's left for you

I found out the hard way that what they said was true

You know how she is" and I said"Yes I do"

We kept talkin' through the night, till it was closin' time

And then put his hand out, and so I put out mine

And somethin' in that handshake told me he'd reached the end

And as we headed for the door, he said it once again"You know how she is, don't think she'll ever change

I thought it might be different, but it turned out just the same

Now I've finally figured out, what I've gotta do

You know how she is" and I said"Yes I do""You know how she is" and I said"Yes I do"
