"He Set Her Off" lyrics

She was the last one in this town we would've thought would snap
Guess he finally found the straw that broke the camel's back
Now she's lightin' camels and sippin' chardonnay
She's dressed up to the nines and all the cops are on their way
She reapplies her lipstick, lights are flashin' red and blue
They ask her why she did it, she said, "Honey, you would too"

Lord help the man who don't know how strong
A woman can be when somebody does her wrong
He lit that fuse in her bed with that blonde
Now the house is up in flames, his clothes are on the lawn
Thought she was fragile like a flower, but she's fragile like a bomb
Yeah, he set her off

In the morning she was right there on the front page
The headline read in black and white, "An angel falls from grace"
They took her to the county and dressed her up in orange
Then brought her cheatin' husband in to testify in court
He cried and said, "She's crazy," and showed off all his burns
But it was clear as kerosene he got what he deserved

Lord help the man who don't know how strong
A woman can be when somebody does her wrong
He lit that fuse in her bed with that blonde
Now the house is up in flames, his clothes are on the lawn
Thought she was fragile like a flower, but she's fragile like a bomb
Yeah, he set her off

She wore a guilty smile when they brought her to the judge
They slapped her wrist and chalked it up to the things we do for love

Lord help the man who don't know how strong
A woman can be when somebody does her wrong
He lit that fuse in her bed with that blonde
Now the house is up in flames, his clothes are on the lawn
Thought she was fragile like a flower, but she's fragile like a bomb
Yeah, he set her off
