[Verse 1]
Tell 'em what it's like, Bec
Because they think they want to know
Beyond the lights, beyond the show
What it is
Tell 'em what it's like, Bec
To live with a man who's never there
To wonder if he even cares when he's gone
He's always gone
Here or there

[Verse 2]
Tell 'em what it's like, Bec
To be someone some love to hate
Your pretty smile and all your grace
It wears you thin
Tell 'em what it's like, Bec
When I'm curled up on the floor
And I can't take it anymore and I'm a mess
Tell 'em what it's like

[Chorus]
They can't hear, they won't believe
What it's really like to love a man like me
But your actions, they speak louder
Than some drunk girl in the crowd
Who wants to talk about how you make it when I leave
Tell 'em what it's like to love a man like me
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
They can't hear, they won't believe
What it's really like to love a man like me
But my actions will speak louder
Than some drunk girl in the crowd
Who wants to talk about where I'm goin' when I leave
Tell 'em what it's like to love a man like me

[Outro]
You can be proud to love a man like me
Tell 'em what it's like to love a man like me
