Now she's breaking hearts and taking names
From now on she's making her own list of old flames
Look out boys it's a brand new game
Be on your guard, she's breaking hearts and taking names

She's outgrown the notion love's made to last
That Cinderella-syndrome's a thing of the past
If you're thinking that she's waiting for another Prince Charming - get real!
Just look at all the rookies lining up to take a shot
Got 'em slipping and a-tripping trying to show her what they got
Steppin up to the plate not knowing that she's playing the field

Now she's breaking hearts and taking names
From now on she's making her own list of old flames
Look out boys it's a brand new game
Be on your guard, she's breaking hearts and taking names

She's breaking hearts and taking names
From now on she's making her own list of old flames
Look out boys it's a brand new game
Be on your guard, she's breaking hearts and taking names
Be on your guard, she's breaking hearts and taking names

Now she wants me to stay, stay gone
She could care less about all of my carrying on
She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot
That starts when I get home
She wants me to stay, stay gone

I used to always sing the doghouse blues
"Please sweet mama, won't you cut me loose?"
The chains she used to use to hold me ain't there no more
She got 'em wrapped up around her front door

Now she wants me to stay, stay gone
She could care less about all of my carrying on
She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot
That starts when I get home
She wants me to stay, stay gone

Now she wants me to stay, stay gone
She could care less about all of my carrying on
She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot
That starts when I get home
She wants me to stay, stay gone
Yeah, she wants me to stay, stay gone

Goodnight sweetheart,
Sleep tight where ever you are
God hold you in His arms while we're apart
Though you're far away
Your love will stay tucked away here in my heart
Goodnight sweetheart
Sleep tight where ever you are

These days I leave the one who needs me more & more it seems
It's a high price that she pays for the dreams that I dream

So goodnight sweetheart,
Sleep tight where ever you are
God hold you in His arms while we're apart
Though you're far away
Your love will stay tucked away here in my heart
Goodnight sweetheart,
Sleep tight where ever you are
Goodnight sweetheart
sleep tight where ever you are

Aww... if he only knew what was going on
Under that moon till the edge of dawn
He'd skin my hide, tan my tail
Run me out of town on a one-way rail
I'll take that chance for you
Let's do somethings your daddy wouldn't want us to do

Thinking of your kiss gives me a chill
A little bit of risk & a whole lot of thrill
At the bend in the river we're breaking some rules
Let's do some things your daddy wouldn't want us to do

Aww... if he only knew what was going on
Under that moon till the edge of dawn
He'd skin my hide, tan my tail
Run me out of town on a one-way rail
I'll take that chance for you
Let's do some things your daddy wouldn't want us to do

Aww... if he only knew what was going on
Under that moon till the edge of dawn
He'd skin my hide, tan my tail
Run me out of town on a one-way rail
I'll take that chance for you
Let's do some things your daddy wouldn't want us to do
Do some things your daddy wouldn't want us to do

Until now I was lost and alone
Until you my heart had never known
Just what love was really all about
Until you, until here, until now

Life had no meaning, now when I hold you I'm amazed
How all the pieces fall right into place

Until now I was lost and alone
Until you my heart had never known
Just what love was really all about
Until you, until here, until now
Until now I was lost and alone
Until you my heart had never known
Just what love was really all about
Until you, until here, until now
Until you, until here, until now
Until you, until here, until now

Day in, day out
And every night from dusk till dawn
This world spins round
And girl you keep me hanging on
When the winds of doubt are blowing
Your love keeps me going somehow
Day in day out

I get so worn out and worried
Keeping up this pace
But you ease my mind every time
I get caught up in the race
You're my saving grace

Day in, day out
And every night from dusk till dawn
This world spins round
And girl you keep me hanging on
When the winds of doubt are blowing
Your love keeps me going somehow
Day in day out

Day in, day out
And every night from dusk till dawn
This world spins round
And girl you keep me hanging on
When the winds of doubt are blowing
Your love keeps me going somehow
Day in day out
Day in day out
Day in day out

I could be there when you need me
Say the word and I'll make my stand
Take away all the fear I'm feeling
Till all that's left is the love of a man

You laugh and I'll laugh with you
When you cry, I'll share your tears
I believe in this love I can give you
The kind of love that could last through the years

I could be there when you need me
Say the word and I'll make my stand
Take away all the fear I'm feeling
Till all that's left is the love of a man

Oh, I could be there when you need me
Say the word and I'll make my stand
Take away all the fear I'm feeling
Till all that's left is the love of a man

Boys will be boys, when girls will let them
It's a fact of life, don't you forget 'em
Cuz the hand that rocks the cradle
Rules the world when you upset them
Boys will be boys, when girls will let them

Now you can hear him bragging, but he's just blowing smoke
Says he's the king of his castle but she knows it's a joke
He's a jester when his friends are around
She's the one who really wears the crown

Boys will be boys, when girls will let them
It's a fact of life, don't you forget 'em
Cuz the hand that rocks the cradle
Rules the world when you upset them
Boys will be boys, when girls will let them

Well it's the same old story since time began
Love is a riddle men just can't understand
She says "Oh baby, you can do what you please"
One little look will bring him to his knees

Boys will be boys, when girls will let them
It's a fact of life, don't you forget 'em
Cuz the hand that rocks the cradle
Rules the world when you upset them
Boys will be boys, when girls will let them
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Makin some noise
Boys will be boys
Oh.... play it boys
Makin some noise
They got their toys...

And give me one good reason why you wanna leave me
You know I love you baby just calm down and take it easy
Lay down here beside me
No need for quick decisions
Before you throw all this away
Give me one good reason

She said "You ain't brought a flower into this house in years
Your gift to me last Valentine's was a case of your favorite beer.
Did I forget to mention I can't stand the sight of you?"
I said, "Don't sugar-coat it baby, you know I can take the truth"

Give me one good reason why you wanna leave me
You know I love you baby just calm down and take it easy
Lay down here beside me
No need for quick decisions
Before you throw all this away
Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason why you wanna leave me
You know I love you baby just calm down and take it easy
Lay down here beside me
No need for quick decisions
Before you throw all this away
Give me one good reason

I'll have another chance
I'll find another girl
I'll see another day
And I'll build another world
I'll start another life just like you told me to
And I'll find another love
But there will never be another you

Night after night I go back through the years
I sit on this porch as the sun disappears
Like we did back then
I remind myself once again

That I'll have another chance
I'll find another girl
I'll see another day
I'll build another world
I'll start another life
Just like you told me to
And I'll find another love
But there'll never be another you

Well I guess I should thank you for showing me how love should feel
I know what I'm gonna look for cuz I felt it when you held me

And I'll have another chance
I'll find another girl
I'll see another day
And I'll build another world
I'll start another life just like you told me to
I'll find another love
But there'll never be another you
Another you

Amos Walker said he'd shoot me next time he caught me crossing his fence
But I was too much in love to reallly think about it back then
Walking that tree cross Thibidioux creek
I can still see them gators smile
But she was worth every step of that Louisiana country mile

That path got shorter as I fell deeper
I'd swim that old swamp if I had to to see her
Those days are gone and she's a memory,
But when that road looks long it hits me
There's a treasure at the end of most of life's troubles and trials
And there ain't nothing longer than a Louisiana country mile

I've come a long way from that little house back in the woods
And I know I don't get back there as much as I should
But every now and then when the walls close in I can still smile
I close my eyes and let my mind walk that Louisiana country mile

That path got shorter as I fell deeper
I'd swim that old swamp if I had to to see her
Those days are gone and she's a memory,
But when that road looks long it hits me
There's a treasure at the end of most of life's troubles and trials
And there ain't nothing longer than a Louisiana country mile
Don't talk till you've walked that Louisiana country mile
