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
