Just Like Him
He was kinda like Superman
Show up, save the day, disappear and then
We wouldn't hear from him till Christmas.
He was always a whole lot of fun,
till he'd get one drink too drunk
A fight would start heatin', breakin' hearts and dishes
I used to say that I'd be damned
If I'd ever fall in love with a man
Like the one Mama wasted her youth on
And I wait up all night alone
I feel like I'm six years old again.
You're just like him.
Daddy had the bluest eyes,
kept my mama hypnotized.
Now I finally realize the reason.
They say love's like comin' home,
and I came from a broken home.
So why am I surprised you're always leavin'?
I used to say that I'd be damned
If I'd ever fall in love with a man
Like the one Mama wasted her youth on.
And I wait up all night alone
I feel like I'm six years old
Again.
You're just like him.
Promises all sound the same
Swear up and down you're gonna to change.
You never do. And I'm not that little kid.
That's why I can't do this again.
You're just like him.
