tommy cash (usa) - she only meant to use him lyrics

[verse 1]
she was young and she was pretty and she met him in the city
somehow, he fit right into her plan
she knew she’d hit it lucky, he owned half of kentucky
best of all, he was a sixty+year+old man
she let him think he caught her and she led him to the altar
toting seven karats on her hand
all dressed up in satin, oh, the good lord wasted that one
but she knew she’d be the winner in the end

[chorus]
’cause shе only meant to use him, she only mеant to use him
and she didn’t care if what she did was wrong
yes, she only meant to use him and she knew what she was doing
in a few years, she’d be rich and he’d be gone

[verse 2]
in their million+dollar palace, the man grew old and jealous
and he never let her leave the house alone
she was in her prime and holding, but she knew that he was old
and chances were he wouldn’t be around that long
as the days and nights grew longer, the greed in her grew stronger
and it even crossed her mind to take his life
but he found that he’d been taken and his pride was badly shaken
and he knew she’d never meant to be your wife
[chorus]
’cause she only meant to use him, she only meant to use him
and he knew just what she wanted in the end
yes, she only meant to use him, but he knew what she was doing
and he swore she’d never have a dime to spend

[verse 3]
tormented by frustration, she watched her beauty wasting
as the lines upon her face began to show
she turned to heavy drinking, her ship was slowly sinking
and the bottle was the only place to go
now, twenty+odd years later, the headlines in the paper
said they laid her soul to rest at 53
when they wheeled him to her coffin, he took her diamond off
and he just smiled and finally died at 93

[chorus]
’cause she only meant to use him, lord knows she meant to use him
but she died with seven karats on her hand
all dressed up in satin, oh, the good lord wasted that one
but her husband died a satisfied old man
’cause she only meant to use him, lord knows she meant to use him
but she died with seven karats on her hand
all dressed up in satin, oh, the good lord wasted that one
but her husband died a satisfied old man
