As I walked through the door and my eyes fit the darkness I saw him alone at the bar. I went over to him Said you may not know me But I sure do know who you are Don't worry my anger was spent long ago And only the memory remains But lord how I suffered, sometimes I still wonder And maybe now you can explain Tell me how could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you How did you know how to hold her and please her How did you know what to do After all of the time I spent learning to love her And be what she needed me to Tell me how could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you He said friend let me buy you a drink And I'll tell you a story that's sad but it's true How I loved her and held her till some drifter stole her From me like I stole her from you I guess no one can own her, her heart's like a Soldier Of fortune, her love's like the wind Still all I can think of is finding her new love And asking this question of him How could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you How did you know how to hold her and please her How did you know what to do After all of the time I spent learning to love her And be what she needed me to Tell me how could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you How could I love her so much And then lose her so quickly to someone like you How did you know how to hold her and please her (fade out)
