Achy Breaky Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can tell the world you never was my girl You can burn my clothes when I'm gone Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms to go back to the farm You can tell my feet to hit the floor Or you can tell my lilps to tell my fingertips They won't be reaching out for you no more
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart I just don't think it'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips He never really liked me anyway
Oh tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please Myself already knows that I'm not okay Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind It might be walking out on me today
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart I just don't think it'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart I just don't think it'd understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo
