Straight out a' Texas
Down around San Antoine
Comin' straight out of heaven
Sweeter than you've ever known
Don't let me hear that sweet kid's name
Get your hands on me and I'll drive you insane
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Now you've been seen in the back of a limousine
I may not ouwn it but it's bigger than you've ever seen
Now don't talk to me about the girls that you knew
Cause they can't do what this girl can do
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Your legs start shakin' every time you call my name
You're no heart breaker but you know you'll never be the same
Now don't talk to me about the girls that you knew
Cause they can't do what this girl can do
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
I can't say goodbye to the sights of San Antoine
Headin' to Hollywood High
And there I'm gonna make my home
And now I don't give a damn about the things that they've seen
They ain't seen nothin' like a Texas queen
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
