I Can Stand It (as Long As He Can) Lyrics - Kitty Wells

I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore 

He's got it in his mind his leavin's hurt me 

That I sit and cry while he paints the town 

All this time he's thinking that I need him when really it's the other way around 

I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore 

[ steel ] 

I'll wait here by the phone a few nights longer 

I'll give him every chance to save his heart 

He's only out dancing with a new love just to keep from falling all apart 

I can stand it as long as he can cause I just don't need him anymore
