Half A Heart Tatttoo lyrics

She was touching up her makeup
I was standing next in line
I 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
Well I just had to ask,`Hey, what`s with that half 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 that last I heard some redhead
Caught his eye in New Orleans
And before that it was a blonde in Baton Rouge
I know there`s at least a dozen gals out sporting one of these
Thinking that they`re the only fool
That he`s left with a heart tattoo`

Well girl you get my symphony
I knew a guy like that
I said,`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
I guess there`s just a whole mess of us
With a half a heart tattoo`

Well the last I heard he moved in
With some dancer from L.A.
But I`m betting that won`t last a week or two
He loves them long enough to leave his mark
And then he`s on his way and he`s so good they never have a clue
`Til they`re stuck with a half a heart tattoo
So ladies make sure that guy standing next to you
Ain`t wearing no half a heart tattoo
