And he doesn't even care and your figuring out
The only way you're gonna keep somebody around
Well, I'm about to let you know

There's something I don't want you to understand
The only way a woman's gonna want a man
The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart

Don't tell her she's the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you've got to give
If you wanna keep the girl for as long as you live
Just breaking apart her heart

Can't you see the way she's crying?
Well that's what keeps her trying
She knew that she could have you
And he don't give her what she wants

There's truth about this
You say you wanna be noticed
Well, if you wanna be noticed
You've gotta learn to break some hearts
Don't try to understand

There's something I don't want you to understand
The only way a woman's gonna want a man
The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart

Don't tell her she's the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you've got to give
If you wanna keep the girl for as long as you live
Just breaking apart her heart

Can you see what you've done?
What I've become, what I've become?
Can you see, can you see?

I don't understand this cruelty
I don't understand but now I see

There's something I don't want you to understand
The only way a woman's gonna want a man
The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands
Is breaking apart her heart

Don't tell her she's the reason that you live
Don't give her everything that you've got to give
If you wanna keep the girl for as long as you live
Just breaking apart her heart

I don't understand this cruelty
I don't understand it's just not me
I don't understand this cruelty
But now I see
