[Verse 1]

She's beautiful in her simple little way

She don't have too much to say when she gets mad

She understands; she don't let go of anything

Even when the pain gets really bad

I guess I should've been more like that

[Verse 2]

You had it all for a pretty little while

And somehow you made me smile when I was sad

You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart

And then you realized you wanted what you had

I guess I should've been more like that

[Chorus]

I should have held on to my pride

I should have never let you lie

I guess you got what you deserved

I guess I should've been more like her

[Verse 3]

Forgiving you, well, she's stronger than I am

You don't look much like a man from where I'm at

It's plain to see desperation showed it's truth

You love her, and she loves you with all she has

I guess I should've been more like that

[Chorus]

I should have held on to my pride

I should have never let you lie

I guess you got what you deserved

I guess I should've been more like her

[Outro]

She's beautiful in her simple little way
