My pride's still layin' in your downstairs couch

My common sense never left my house

Cuz honey you're the talk of the town

Had to see what they were talkin' about.

Cuz 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 starin' at me swearin' that you'll marry me

He likes 'em young

I was 23

When I met the heartbreaker from tennessee.

My dignity's in 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.

Cuz 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 starin' at me swearin' 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 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.
