She packed up her suitcase and walked to the door
She said she won't come back like she's done before
I bet she's in Dallas before it gets dark
I know she's thinking she's breaking my heart

She knows I love her so she thinks I'll crawl
But she never knew me she never knew me she never knew me at all
She know I love her I know I need her
God knows to please her I've tried and I've tried

By now if I know her she's changed her mind
She'll pull off the highway and have a good cry
And then like a lost child she'll want to come home
She thinks I'm waitin' there by the phone

She'll stop in some cafe and give me a call
But she never knew me she never knew me she never knew me at all
