[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
