And I always expect her to know what I'm thinking of
C#m7
A
I treat her so mean I don't deserve what I have

That she can tell, I really love her

And then I'm not happy 'til I make her break down and cry
C#m7
A
When I look at other girls it must kill her inside

That she can tell, I really love her
