Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

I watched him buy his ticket in Charlotte, North Carolina

I heard him say, "One way, please to Denver"

He's goin' to meet that other girl

Won't do us no good to cry

'Cause she's wearin' his ring on her finger

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

I watched him tip the porter

As he stepped aboard that midnight train

Bound to take him far away forever

I watched the tail light fade away

Knowin' he was gone to stay

I just wish this broken heart was with him

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart

You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
