Description
About a man who wants a woman to love him even though he knows well her long established tendency to end relationships. And getting treated badly by her is better than not getting treated at all.
Lyrics
So I heard you dumped another man Now it seems to be some yearly plan Take 'em in then send them on their way I thought you'd settle down by now But old habits tend to be the last to break Word in this town travels fast Get her 'cause she will not last Now I'm another standing in a line The man who wins will know the end It's just a temporary ride I wanna be the one you've been treatin' bad And I'll tell myself we'll end up better than the others that you had And even though I'm sure to cry when loves turns to the past Gonna be the one you've been treatin' bad What caused my girl to act this way? I can only speculate No one knows and it's clear you'll never say Maybe someone hurt you long ago And you cried until your heart just ran away Now I can't make outlandish claims That I'm the one to heal the pain That's reserved for you and God alone But I'll wait my turn in hopes to love you More than all the other men you've known I'm gonna be the one you've been treatin' bad And I'll tell myself we'll end up better than the others that you had And even though I'm sure to cry when loves turns to the past Gonna be the one you've been treatin' bad Gonna be the one you've been treatin' bad
