 I know  I don't want her, I swear that's a fact
 But the thought  of somebody else rubbing her back
 Just kills  me
 Oh, it kills  me
 I know  she don't love me, I know she ain't home
 So why  in the hell do I pick up this phone
 And call  her?
 Why do I call  her?
 I've dropped  by her momma's stoned out of my mind
 Just to hear  that it's over from her one more time
 As if  I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down
 Loaded down and rolling down our road
 Yeah, she's already  left
 So why  can't I leave her alone
 I've  wrote her letters signed I was a fool
 She  wrote me back saying go find a stool
 And drink  one
 Like you've always  done
 So that's  what I did 'cause that's what I do
 Backsliding,  hiding away from the truth
 'Til the tears  run
 Oh, here  comes one
 Interlude thingy
 I know  I don't want her, I swear that's a fact
  G *No strum
 But the thought of somebody else rubbing her back
  No strum* D
 Just kills me
