She was touching up her makeup,
I was standing next in line
Couldn't help but notice me 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 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 hat
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,
it was the blonde in Baton Rouge
I know there's at least a dozen gals that's more than one of these
Thinking 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 they're just a whole mess of us,
but they have 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
He's so good, they never have a clue
Till
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
Half a heart tattoo Half a heart tattoo
