I hated like the devil
to tell her we were through
I was sure it would break her heart
and tear her world in two
she is such a fragil thing
lord I hate to make her cry
so I broke it to her gently
when I told her goodbye

she cussed me like a sailor
kicked a hole through the kitchen wall
she threw a fit and threw the phone
half way down the hall
she said I'll be down at the bar
then I heard the front door slam
I guess all in all
she took it like a man

I was thinkin she'd reach out to me
and beg me not to go
or run straight to her momma
cause I hurt her so
thought she'd be devistated
had a tender moment planned
didn't think that she could take it
but she took it like a man

Chorus*

I guess all in all she took it like a man
