First kiss I thought I died and gone to heaven
There in parking lot of that old 7/11
I filled up a truck,
I went in to pay, when I walked out
She was with him smilin’ as she drove away
I know that’s gonna leave a mark
Just like a tattoo on my heart
My little brunette wrecking ball with a sexy southern drawl,
Is gonna tear my world apart
And I know just like a moth drawn to a flame
I’ll come runnin’ when she whispers my name,
And like a tattoo on my heart I know that’s gonna leave a mark.
If you play with fire you’re bound to get burned
You would think by now that I would’ve learned
But she’s lookin so hot, so what can I say
My mama said don’t but I did it anyway
I know that’s gonna leave a mark
Just like a tattoo on my heart
My little brunette wrecking ball with a sexy southern drawl,
Is gonna tear my world apart
And I know just like a moth drawn to a flame
I’ll come runnin’ when she whispers my name,
And like a tattoo on my heart I know that’s gonna leave a mark.
I wish you didn’t look so dang good
I wish you wouldn’t smile at me that way
There’s an exit light shinnin’ brighter than the sun
Like a sign from above tellin’ me to run away
I know that’s gonna leave a mark
Just like a tattoo on my heart
My little brunette wrecking ball with a sexy southern drawl,
Is gonna tear my world apart
And I know just like a moth drawn to a flame
I’ll come runnin’ when she whispers my name,
And like a tattoo on my heart I know that’s gonna leave a mark.
And like a tattoo on my heart I know she’s gonna leave a mark.
