I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore He's got it in his mind his leavin's hurt me That I sit and cry while he paints the town All this time he's thinking that I need him when really it's the other way around I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore [ steel ] I'll wait here by the phone a few nights longer I'll give him every chance to save his heart He's only out dancing with a new love just to keep from falling all apart I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore
