How You Lose a Woman

You tell her you’ll be home by eight, come draggin' in at ten
Next night you forget to call do the same old thing again
And when you see her you don’t tell her where you’ve been
That’s how you lose a woman
You see her in that bright red dress she bought just for you
You don’t say how good she looks, but notice nothing new
She’s just someone you’ve gotten too used to
That’s how you lose a woman
And when she’s gone
You’ll sit around and wonder what went wrong
And when it finally sinks in you’d give anything
Anything, to hold her again
A little conversation is all she really needs
But you don’t really listen 'cause you’re watching the TV
She gives up and finds another book to read
That’s how you lose a woman
And when she’s gone
You’ll sit around and wonder what went wrong
And when it finally sinks in you’d give anything
Anything, to hold her again
She’s out with the girls one night in that same red dress
Someone sits beside her, showers her with compliments
And when he asks her to dance she says «Yes»
That’s how you lose a woman
That’s how you lose a woman
