WORLD OF HURTING

On a steel-grey chilly day in a Detroit sburban house
Drinking tears on the rocks mingled with some bourbon on her mouth
He was much too good to be true she'd been saying for years
How untrue he'd be to her was worse than she feared
16 years together jsut blew away on the winter wind
Like the snowflake that slowly melted when it softly touched her skin
Now she finally knew what they meant about a man in mid-life crisis
Just another way of saying he'd gone back to his old boyhood vices
chorus
Now she's a woman in a world of hurting
She'll be fine once she adjusts to falling apart
Bad times never last that's certain
But he put a world of hurting on her heart

She'd been thinking about a second honeymoon she just didn't know the score
He was meeting his second honey at noon at the metro airport
all he left behind was a note she read every line on the page
He was making a brand new life with a woman half her age
repeat chorus
tag
She's got a world of hurting on her heart
