She's Got a Way with Words
Blake Shelton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You figure out love's got four letters
I shoulda known that when I met her
But she had to spell it out for me
After all that second guessing
It's been a long hard history lesson
Hell that's a class I got an f in
But now I understand perfectly
She put the her in hurt
She put the why in try
She put the S-O-B in sober
She put the hang in hangover (hangover)
She put the ex in sex
She put the low in blow
She put a big F-U in my future
Yeah she's got a way
She's got a way with words
Yeah she's got a way with words
Little words like "I" and "do"
Lying, cheating, screwed
Yeah all the words I thought I knew
They got a brand new meaning now
She put the her in hurt
She put the why in try
She put the S-O-B in sober
She put the hang in hangover (hangover)
She put the ex in sex
She put the low in blow
She put a big F-U in my future
Yeah she's got a way
She's got a way with words (oh oh oh oh)
Yeah she's got a way with words (oh oh oh oh)
She put the her in hurt
She put the why in try
She put the S-O-B in sober
She put the hang in hangover (hangover)
She put the ex in sex
She put the low in blow
She put a big F-U in my future
Yeah she's got a way
She's got a way with words (oh oh oh oh)
Yeah she's got a way with words (oh oh oh oh)
She's got a way with words (oh oh oh oh)
She's got a way with words (oh oh oh oh)
Yeah she's got a way with words (oh oh oh oh)
In these lyrics, Blake Shelton is reflecting on a failed relationship and admitting that he misunderstood the woman he was with. He realizes that the signs were all there, all the little words they said had new meanings now that the relationship fell apart. But he gives credit where credit is due, and admits that she has a way with words. She put the "her" in "hurt," the "why" in "try," and the "S-O-B" in "sober" as she caused him pain and frustration. She even put the "F-U" in his future, showing that he has a long road to recovery after the relationship.
As he reflects on his relationship, he realizes that love has four letters and should have understood it better. But instead, he had to learn the hard way and received an "F" in the class of love. Despite his failures, he admits that she has a way with words that he can't ignore. Little words like "I" and "do" now have a brand new meaning that he couldn't have understood before.
This song is an example of country music's ability to convey emotions through storytelling. It's a relatable song for anyone who has gone through a breakup or experienced the frustration of not understanding a significant other. The lyrics are clever and catchy, and the melody is easy to get stuck in your head.

I just want to point out something to everyone in the room. Some of the people in this room are black. Including myself. I don't know how he did it but somehow Blake's music is crossing over. Everyone's listening to it now. That in itself. Is a huge accomplishment. I would have never thought. I would be listening to country. I think it was either season 3 or season 4 of the voice. When he did boys around here. I think everyone was shocked how good of a song it was. Then the songs he kept doing after that. Pretty much made me a fan of his music.
