Lyrics
He's got a lady
© 2006 Bruce Mills (ASCCAP)
Just because he got a lady
Doesn't mean that he ain't lonely - because
He ain't the only
The only company she keeps
Oh - he stares off in the distance
When you ask him about his lady
Because she ain't his lady anymore -
Anymore than he's her man
Chorus
There ain't no consolation
No matter what you try to say
He's smiling at you through those tears - but
The hurt and pain won't go away -
He's looking for his lady
Everywhere for the love - that's missing from his life
And no one seems to notice - anyway
That he's still calling her his wife
Break (instrumental)
Just because she is his lady
Doesn't mean he is the only one - no
She prefers the company
Of strangers in her bed
Oh - she don't even call him by his name
She likes to play her dangerous games
But nobody can ever change [her]
Ain't no remedy - ain't no cure
Chorus
There ain't no consolation - no - no - no
No matter what you try to say
He's smiling at you through those old tears - but
The hurt and pain just won't go away
Into little bits and pieces
You can see his heart is breaking
That wedding ring - that wedding ring don't mean a damn thing
Just because he got a lady
Doesn't mean that he ain't lonely
She never loved him - anyway
She never really cared
Sometimes it's better to be lonely
Than to share a cheating heart - oh yes indeed
Sometimes it's better to be lonely
Than to have a broken - broken heart
