Girl, I can't believe
Not in my wildest dreams
That you would do this to me
That's why I'm standing here
Baptized in all my tears
How could you break my heart so easily?
I gotta let you know
That's not the way I flow
This thing is blowin' my mind
After all that we been through
How could you do what you do, baby, be so unkind
How could this be
That you would just up and go away from me?
How could you go?
You got me feelin' like I'm kind of all alone
How could this be
That you would just up and go away from me?
How could this be?
You cannot tell me you didn't know I loved you so
How could this?
I thought that we were both
Seeing eye to eye
How could you tell me that lie
That you were down for me
Like I was down for you
How could you be so untrue?
I'm tryin' to figure out
What were you thinkin' 'bout
When you just walked out my life?
'Coz every day I still wonder
Would you be my wife, so tell me
How could this be
That you would just up and go away from me
And tell me how could you go?
You got me feelin' like I'm kind of all alone
How could this be
That you would just up and go away from me?
How could this be?
You cannot tell me you didn't know
I loved you so, baby
How could this be?
'Coz girl, I'm in a bad situation
So tell me what am I supposed to do?
I don't have a clue what I'm facin'
I'm still in love with you
And every day I'm not with you
My heart is slowly breakin'
I don't wanna be right
When you always do me wrong
So why am I singin' this song?
How could this be
That you would just up and go away from me?
So tell me how could you go?
You got me feelin' like I'm kind of all alone
So tell me how could this be
That you would just up and go away from me?
I don't believe it
How could this be?
I can't concede it, baby, you didn't know
I loved you so, oh
How could this be?
See my mama cannot tell me
My father cannot tell me
My sister cannot tell me
My brother cannot tell me
How could this happen to me?
How could you do this to me?
How could you break my heart when I was down?
How could this be
That you would just up and go away from me?
How could this be?
How could this be
That you would just up and go away from me?
How could you go?
