Jim Ed Brown and the Browns Lyrics
"I Can't Stand It (As Long as You Can)"

(Mitchell Torok - Ramona Redd)

I can't stand it as long as she can
'Cause I just don't need her anymore.

She's got it in her mind her leaving's hurt me
That I sit and cry while she paints the town
All this time she's thinking I still need her
Well, really it's the other way around.

I can't stand it as long as she can
'Cause I just don't need her anymore.

I'll have another smoke here while I'm waiting
Just one more drink to help the time go by
If she should see me she'd think I was crying
But it's just that the smoke gets in my eyes

I can't stand it as long as she can
'Cause I just don't need her anymore...
