I was secretly enamoured You were obviously hammered I drove you home and said 'good-night' You said "Tennessee just might come back to haunt you You should stay with me tonight- if you want to" Don't hold your heartache against her boys, you know it's not her fault Don't hold your heartache against her, it's not her fault She ain't no woman - she's a waltz And she walks into the room, my heart strikes up the band When she walks into the room, my heart strikes up the band Keeping time with each slight move of her hand Moonlight on the attack Misery has got her back She'll sleep beside you on the floor When you have six dollars to your name She slept beside me on a hardwood floor When I had six dollars to my name I bought her a pillow and a rose and I cried in shame I held her skirt like curtain,I held her heart like a newborn child I held her skirt like curtain, her heart like a newborn child Left her blue eye lazy, I left her green eye wild Slow mood on the rise Up a balcony of sighs Ay, ay, ay I held her skirt like curtain,I held her heart like a newborn child I held her skirt like curtain, her heart like a newborn child Left her blue eye lazy, I left her green eye wild
