My heart's too broke to pay attention
If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall
Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions
But my heart's too broke to pay attention.

I was heart broke and feelin' down
Billy Joe said let's go to town
He said, "An ounce of cure
Is worth a pound of prevention."
He said, "I know a little waterin' hole
Where the band is hot and the beer is cold
There's more woman there
Than at a Tupperware convention."

My heart's too broke to pay attention
If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall
Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions
But my heart's too broke to pay attention.

I aint ready for another love
Billy Joe's trying to fix me up
He's a friend to the end
He's a man on a mission.
He just punched me in the side
Said did you see what just walked by
She had a million dollar smile
And a body in mint condition.

But my heart's too broke to pay attention
If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall
Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions
But my heart's too broke to pay attention.
My heart's too broke to pay attention...
