She can’t put her finger on a single lipstick stain
Perfume doesn’t linger on a shirt on
There’s no matchbook in his pocket with a number and name
So why does she still hurt

Cause a woman knows, when there’s another woman
She can feel her, all over her man
A woman knows, when there’s another woman
You can’t fool her, so don’t try to think you can

What she don’t know, won’t hurt her
That’s what he tells himself
So he hides his cheatin heart inside his chest
He thinks he’s put one over, but what he don’t know is
He’s already confessed

Cause a woman knows, when there’s another woman
She can feel her, all over her man
A woman knows, when there’s another woman
You can’t fool her, so don’t try to think you can

A woman knows, when there’s another woman
You can’t fool her, so don’t try to think you can
You can’t fool her, so don’ try to think you can

I? spend a lot more time in the pouring rain without
an umbrella
Covering my head
And I ? stood up to that bully when he pushed and
called me names
But I was too afraid
And I? a gone on and saw Elvis that night he came to
town
But mama said I couldn?
And I? a went skinny dipping with Jenny Carson that
time she dared me too
But I didn?

Oh I, I? done a lot of things different

I wished I? a spent more time with my dad when he was
alive
Now I don? have the chance
I wish I had told my brother how much I loved him
before he went off to war
But I just shook his hand
And I wish I had gone to church on Sunday morning when
my grandma begged me too
But I was afraid of God
And I wish I would?e listened when they said Boy,
you?e gonna wish you hadn?
But I wouldn?

Oh I, I? done a lot of things different

People say they wouldn? change a thing, even if they
could
Oh but I would

There was this red dress she wanted one time so bad
she could taste it
And I should?e bought it, but I didn?
She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it
blues and greens
But I wouldn? let her, wouldn? a hurt nuthin&127;She loved
to be held and kissed
and touched but I didn? do it
Not nearly enough
And if I? a known that dance was going to be our last
dance
I? a asked that band to play on and on on and on

Oh I, I? done a lot of things different

People say they wouldn? change a thing, even if they
could
Oh but I would
Oh whoa Oh I, I? done a lot of things different
Oh I, I? done a lot of things
I think we? all do a lot of things different

She lived at the end of a little dirt road
In a house where secrets go untold
Barefoot in a cotton dress, dark hair in a tangled mess
And a head full of crazy dreams
She said

I’m going to California
A place where the sun always shines
I’m goin to California
And I’m leavin everything behind

You can’t help, but feel a little bit touched
When your daddy loves you a little too much
You can wish on four leaf clovers, but all the fields have been plowed
over
And there’s nothin left to do but fly away

I’m going to California
A place where the sun always shines
I’m goin to California
And I’m leavin everything behind

Stars burn like candles on that two-lane highway
She made her wish, and disappeared on her 18th birthday
And she said

I’m going to California
A place where the sun always shines
I’m goin to California
And I’m leavin everything behind

I’m goin to California
And I’m leavin everything behind

Oh California
I’m goin to California

Oh California
Leavin it all behind
California….

Girl don’t you know it’s all I can do
To keep my hands off of you
Anytime you’re around
When the stars come out at night
I dream of holdin’ you tight
Everytime I lay down
It feels so good for me to have you this way
The only other thing
I wish I had was a chance
A chance
To tell you how I feel about you
And how it feels to live without a chance
A chance
To tell you I’ll love you forever
Knowing that I’ll never have a chance
Sometimes reality hurts
And you wonder if life’s worth
Living at all
Knowing no matter how much you care
You’ll never have a prayer
Of having what you want
At least I’ve been close enough I could taste
Beauty at it’s best
But never a trace of a chance
A chance
To tell you how I feel about you
And how it feels to live without a chance
A chance
To tell you I’ll love you forever
Knowing that I’ll never have a chance
A chance, a chance
To tell you I’ll love you forever
Knowing that I’ll never have, a chance
