I Guess I Showed Her (1987 recording) - The Robert Cray Band, Robert Cray

I payed the clerk and moved right in

A single room with one big twin

There’s a chest and mirror

Shower’s down the hall

Room 16 ain’t got no view

But the hot plate’s brand new

I guess I showed her

I guess I showed her

Once again I’ve been burned

My suspicion’s been confirmed

I saw her having lunch

With some new guy

I walked up and said, «Goodbye»

She said, «Wait, can we talk tonight?»

I guess I showed her

Mmmm, I guess I showed her

I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah

I guess I showed her

I guess I showed her that a man, yeah

Has his limits

Another man is where I draw the line

She can have the house

And everything that’s in it

I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah

I guess I showed her

She will be surprised

When she comes in tonight

Flips on the light

And finds an empty home

Yeah, every time she’s lied

Will flash before her eyes

I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah

I guess I showed her

I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah

I guess I showed her

Now she can have the house

And she can keep the car

I’m just satisfied

Staying in this funky, little old motel

I’m so mad

Well I can’t stand it

I can’t stand it

No, I can’t stand it, no no…
