That's what tears me up the way I let her tear me down
There was a time when pride made me stand and be tall
And I said I would never let a woman make me fall
But I've been down on my knees when pride could not be found
And that's what tears me up the way I let her tear me down
It tears me up to see the way I let my poor heart go
Oh, she had me down on my knees when pride could not be found
All she has to do is beg and I lose my self-control
And it's then that I see myself for the way I really am
And that's what tears me up the way I let her tear me down
All the things I say I won't do
Are the things I do first
Wish my heart could find the courage
To stop giving in to her
But it offers no resistance
From my heart to her heart


From the moment she's around
And that's what tears me up the way I let her tear me down
And that's what tears me up the way I let her tear me down
And that's what tears me up the way I let her tear me down
