DEBBIE & DANNY When Deb married Danny she was still just a kid But nobody could thrill her the way that he did Her momma and daddy tried to make her change her mind They said, "True love will wait, honey, give it some time." But when he get that look in his eyes Her heart would start pounding and sparks would start flying And all the defenses that she built up inside Would come tumbling down when she thought of a life without Danny So seven years later, she's sitting home with the kids Alone every night with no sign of him He never makes excuses for the time spent away And she knows not to ask and what not to say Cuz' when he gets the look in his eyes Her heart would start pounding and fists could start flying For the sake of the kids and a little peace of mind She'll swallow her pride and never complain about Danny She's thinking, no more lying alone beside you; I want a love that's true And when I find the one I'm trying to; you know we're going to stick like glue She's washing the dishes while he's betting sports on the web She's replaying the tapes of the heartless, hurtful things he just said She's making out a list of what she wants in her head And the changes she'll make in the life that she's led And when he gets that look in his eyes She packs up the children and pushes right by him Saying give me one good reason why I should keep on trying And as he searches his heart for the very first time Says, "There aren't any."
