If you let him drive you crazy

She said, 'Mama, he's tall, dark and handsome'
Like daddy was, twenty years ago
And tonight he's gonna want an answer
It gets harder all the time to tell him, 'no'.

And she said, 'Mama, I think he really needs me'
Ain't this the way that love was meant to be?
It broke her heart when I started cryin'
These words I'd hoped she'd never hear from me.

The man always gets what he's after
Then leaves you just over the hillÊ
You oughta understand why it's over
If you let him drive you crazy, he will.

Well, she heard me but she just didn't listen
She followed her heart right to his bed
But there in the darkness she wonders
As my words keep runnin' through her head.

The man always gets a-what he's after
Then leaves you just over the hill
You oughta understand why it's over
If you let him drive you crazy, he will.

If you let him drive you crazy, he will...
