I never thought too much about her leavin' I'd find someone there was no doubt But this time the feelin' is strange and different Since she's been gone there's one thing I found out Chorus: It takes a mighty man to live with lonesome Some big men might live with misery But there's one thing I know, for sure it's certain It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me I've never suffered much in the hurtin' line I've always been as good as any man But show me who can lose in love and like it And I'll be the first to proudly shake his hand Chorus
