The second track off of Cray’s 1986 album Strong Persuader.
The song is about Cray (or his character) finding out his girl is having an affair, as he moves out of the house into a motel.
The lyrics are quite self-explanatory and don’t really necessitate annotations as a result.
I Guess I Showed Her Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I payed the clerk and moved right in
A single room with one big twin
There's a chest and mirror
Shower's down the hall
Room 16 ain't got no view
But the hot plate's brand new
[Chorus]
I guess I showed her
I guess I showed her
[Verse 2]
Once again I've been burned
My suspicion's been confirmed
I saw her having lunch
With some new guy
I walked up and said, "Goodbye"
She said, "Wait, can we talk tonight?"
[Chorus]
I guess I showed her
Mmmm, I guess I showed her
I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah
I guess I showed her
[Bridge]
I guess I showed her that a man, yeah
Has his limits
Another man is where I draw the line
She can have the house
And everything that's in it
[Chorus]
I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah
I guess I showed her
[Verse 3]
She will be surprised
When she comes in tonight
Flips on the light
And finds an empty home
Yeah, every time she's lied
Will flash before her eyes
[Chorus]
I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah
I guess I showed her
I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah
I guess I showed her
[Outro]
Now she can have the house
And she can keep the car
I'm just satisfied
Staying in this funky, little old motel
I'm so mad
Well I can't stand it
I can't stand it
No, I can't stand it, no no...
