When a man cheats on a woman
It's understood he's just a man
But when a woman cheats on her man
No one forgives

I drove her out into the night
With teardrops in her eyes
And only now I realize the fool I've been

Why couldn't I love her
And try to understand her?
Instead I said things that I regret
Why couldn't I just hold her
And say it didn't matter?
Why couldn't I forgive and forget?

It's not her fault she slipped one time
She never was the cheating kind
But when a woman's unsatisfied
She's bound to roam

But I got mad
I just saw red
I never heard a word she said
And what I'd give to have her back here in
Why couldn't I love her
And try to understand her?
Instead I said things that I regret
Why couldn't I just hold her
And say it didn't matter?
Why couldn't I forgive and forget?

Why couldn't I love her
And try to understand her?
Instead I said things that I regret
Why couldn't I just hold her
And say it didn't matter?
Why couldn't I forgive and forget?
