SHE WAS TOUCHING UP
HER MAKE-UP
I WAS
STANDING NEXT IN LINE
COULDN'T HELP
BUT NOTICE
'NEATH THOSE
POWDER ROOM LIGHTS
IT WAS CHINA RED
OUTLINED IN BLACK
ON THE LEFT SIDE
OF HER SHOULDER
IN PLAIN VIEW
I JUST HAD TO ASK
HEY
WHAT'S WITH
THAT HALF A HEART
TATTOO
SHE GLANCED AT ME
THROUGH THE MIRROR
AND JUST STARTED
TO LAUGH
SHE SAID
I KNOW
THIS LOOKS FUNNY
BUT THERE IS
ANOTHER HALF
AND IT'S CHINA RED
OUTLINED IN BLACK
ON THE RIGHT SIDE
OF HIS SHOULDER
LAST I KNEW
YEAH SOMEWHERE
OUT THERE
IS A MATCH
TO THIS HALF A HEART
TATTOO
WELL THE LAST I HEARD
SOME REDHEAD
CAUGHT HIS EYE
IN NEW ORLEANS
AND BEFORE THAT
WAS A BLONDE
IN BATON ROUGE
I KNOW
THERE'S AT LEAST
A DOZEN GALS
OUT SPORTIN'
ONE OF THESE
THINKIN' THAT
THEY'RE THE ONLY FOOL
THAT HE'S LEFT
WITH A HALF A HEART
TATTOO
WELL GIRL
YOU GOT MY SYMPATHY
I KNEW A GUY
LIKE THAT
I SAID
WELL YOU AIN'T GONNA
BELIEVE THIS
THEN I PULLED
MY JACKET BACK
YEAH IT'S CHINA RED
OUTLINED IN BLACK
ON THE LEFT SIDE
OF MY SHOULDER
STILL FAIRLY NEW
YEAH
I GUESS
THERE'S JUST A WHOLE
MESS OF US
WITH A HALF A HEART
TATTOO
WELL THE LAST I HEARD
HE'D MOVED IN
WITH SOME DANCER
FROM L.A.
BUT I'M BETTIN'
THAT WON'T LAST
A WEEK OR TWO
HE LOVES 'EM
LONG ENOUGH
TO LEAVE HIS MARK
AND THEN
HE'S ON HIS WAY
BUT HE'S SO GOOD
THEY'D NEVER HAVE
A CLUE
'TIL THEY'RE STUCK
WITH A HALF A HEART
TATTOO
SO LADIES MAKE SURE
THAT GUY
STANDIN' NEXT TO YOU
AIN'T WEARIN' NO
HALF A HEART TATOO
HALF A HEART TATTOO
HALF A HEART TATTOO
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA
