My pride's still laying
on your downstairs couch
My common sense
never left my house
'Cause honey you're
the talk of the town
Had to see what
they were talking about
'Cause I heard about
your reputation babe
I heard the story
You ran through Memphis
then you rode away
Now even I can say
I heard you got engaged
and said it wasn't
meant to be
So why you staring at me
swearing that
you'll marry me
He likes 'em young
I was 23
When I met
the heartbreaker from Tennessee
My dignity's on
the hotel bed
My self-control
I don't know
where that went
It's probably tangled up
in the sheets
All my friends would
be ashamed of me
'Cause I know about
your reputation baby
Now I'm
the star of the story
Headline on
the cover page
Now even I can say
I heard you got engaged
and said it wasn't
meant to be
So why you staring at me
swearing that
you'll marry me
He likes 'em young
I was 23
When I met
the heartbreaker from Tennessee
It's funny how I swore
I'd make a hero
out of you
I'd hate to say
that everything they said
would turn out true
I fell in love
I was 23
When I met
the heartbreaker
I met the heartbreaker
I met
the heartbreaker from Tennessee
