1. Here comes my baby draggin' my heart behind,

                               A         G                        D

    he's drivin' me crazy ! Who says love is blind ?

                      Bm                             D

    He's got a wanderin' eye and a travelin' mind,

     G                      A

    big ideas and a little behind,

    Bm                                      D

    out with a different woman every night,

         G                           Em          A

    but I remember when he was mine.

 

    D

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that,

             G                                        Em

in your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans,

G                              Em

all decked out like a cowgirl's dream,

  G                               A                D

waltzing right in here lookin' like that ?

 

    D

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that,

           G                                     Em

when you could stop traffic in a gunney sack ?

                   G                            Em

Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack,

                   G                         A                F       - D

when you waltz right in here lookin' like that ?

2. I just can't stand it to see him on the town,

                            A                 G                D

    he's out slow dancing with every girl around.

 

 

 

 

             Bm                                        D

    I'm a soft-hearted woman, he's a hard-headed man,

                    G                                          A

    and he's gonna make me feel just as bad as he can.

             Bm                                         D

    He's got himself a mean streak, a half a mile wide,

            G                                    Em          A

    but now he's dancing on this heart of mine.
