Half A Heart Tattoo Lyrics - Jennifer Hanson - Jennifer Hanson

She was touching up her makeup 

I was standing next in line 

Couldn't 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 

What's 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 it's 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 there's at least a dozen gals out sporting one of these 

Thinking that they're the only fool that he's left with a hear tattoo" 

Well girl you got my symphony 

I knew a guy like that 

I said,"You ain't gonna believe this 

Then I pulled my jacket back" 

"Yeah, it's China red outlined in black 

On the left side of my shoulder, still fairly new 

I guess there's 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 I'm betting that won't last a week or two 

He loves them long enough to leave his mark and that he's on his way 

And that he's so good they'll never have a clue 

Until they're stuck with a half a heart tattoo 

So ladies make sure that guy standing next to you 

Ain't wearing no half a heart tattoo 

Half a heart tattoo, half a heart tattoo
