Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I guess you think it's fun to laugh at her expense
To point out each mistake she makes in front of all your friends
You figure she'll let it go by 'cause she loves you so
But you know
[Verse 2]
Every time you throw dirt on her you lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away each time that you put her down
A lady like that can come here and get
Somebody who knows what he's found
And every time you throw dirt on her you lose a little ground
[Verse 3]
It's hard to bite my lip but I ain't sayin' a word
I give you all the rope to hang yourself that you deserve
You might be ahead of me in her heart today
But that's okay
[Verse 4]
Every time you throw dirt on her you lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away each time that you put her down
A lady like that can come here and get
Somebody who knows what he's found
And every time you throw dirt on her you lose a little ground
[Verse 5]
Every time you throw dirt on her you lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away each time that you put her down
A lady like that can come here and get
Somebody who knows what he's found
And every time you throw dirt on her you lose a little ground
[Verse 6]
Every time you throw dirt on her you lose a little ground
She slips a little farther away each time that you put her down
