She was touching up her makeup
I was standing next in line
I couldnt help but notice
neath 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, whats with that half heart tattoo?
She glanced at me through the mirror
And started to laugh
She said,i know this looks funny but there is another half
And its 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 that last I heard some redhead
Caught his eye in new orleans
And before that it was a blonde in baton rouge
I know theres at least a dozen gals out sporting one of these
Thinking that theyre the only fool
That he left with a hear tattoo
Well girl you get my symphony
I knew a guy like that
I said,you aint gonna believe this
Then I pulled my jacket back
yeah its china red outlined in black on the left side of my shoulder
Still fairly new
I guess theres just a whole mess of us
With a half a heart tattoo
Well the last I heard he moved in
With some dancer from l.a.
But Im betting that wont last a week or two
He loves them long enough to leave his mark
And hes so good they never have a clue
til theyre stuck with a half a heart tattoo
So ladies make sure that guy standing next to you
Aint wearing no half a heart tattoo
