She,
She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believe her from the start.
She,
She said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart.

Why am I standing here,
Missing her and wishing she were here.
She only did me wrong,
I'm better off alone.

She,
She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt.
She,
She laughed when I was cryin'.
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.

Why am I standing here,
Missing her and wishing she were here
She only did me wrong,
I'm better off alone.

And now I know just why she
Keeps me hangin' round.
She needs someone to walk on,
So her feet don't touch the ground.
But I love her,
I need her,
I want her.
Yea! Yea! Yea! Yea! Yea! Yea! She!

[instrumental]

Why am I standing here,
Missing her mad wishing she were here.
She only did me wrong,
I'm better off alone.

Why am I missing her?
I should be kissing her.
