[Intro]
B
[Verse 1]
She was touBching up her make up I was standing next in line,
BCouldn't help but notice neath those powder room lights,
There was chEina red outlined in black on the left side of her shoulder,
In plain vBiew
AI just had to ask hey, wEhat's with that half a heart tatBtoo,
[Verse 2]
She glanced aBt me through the mirror and just started to laugh,
BShe said I know this looks funny but there is another half,
And it's chE7ina red outlined in black on the right side of his shoulder,
Last I kBnew,
AYeah somewhere out there is a mEatch to this half a heart taBttoo,
[Chorus]
Well lAast I heard some rDed head caught his Beye in New Orleans,
and beAfore it was a blonde in Baton RoBuge,
I kAnow there are at least a dDozen gals out sporBting one of these,
ThiAnking they are the only fF#ool, 
That he's lAeft with a hEalf a heart tatBtoo,
[Verse 3]
Well giBrl you got my sympathy I knew a guy like that,
BI said Well you ain't gonna believe this then I pulled my jacket back,
Yeah it's chE7ina red outlined in black on the left side of my shoulder,
Still fairly nBew yeah,
AI guess there's just a whole mess of Eus with a half a heart taBttoo,
[Chorus/Outro]
Well the laAst I heard he'd mDoved in with some daBncer from L.A.
But I'm bAettin that won't last a week or tBwo,
He loves loAng enough to leDave his mark and thBen he's on his way,
HAe's so good they never have a cF#lue, 
til they're stAuck with a half a hEeart tatBtoo,
So ladAies make sure that guy standing next to F#you,
Ain't weAaring no haElf a heart tatBtoo,
HBalf a heart tattoo 
HBalf a heart tattoo,

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

She was touching up her make up I was standing next in line,

Couldn't help but notice neath those powder room lights,

There was china red outlined in black on the left side of her shoulder,

In plain view

A E B

I just had to ask hey, what's with that half a heart tattoo,

[Verse 2]

She glanced at me through the mirror and just 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,

A E B

Yeah somewhere out there is a match to this half a heart tattoo,

[Chorus]

A D B

Well last I heard some red head caught his eye in New Orleans,

A B

and before it was a blonde in Baton Rouge,

A D B

I know there are at least a dozen gals out sporting one of these,

A F#

Thinking they are the only fool,

A E B

That he's left with a half a heart tattoo,

[Verse 3]

Well girl you got my sympathy I knew a guy like that,

I said Well 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 yeah,

A E B

I guess there's just a whole mess of us with a half a heart tattoo,

[Chorus/Outro]

A D B

Well the last I heard he'd moved in with some dancer from L.A.

A B

But I'm bettin that won't last a week or two,

A D B

He loves long enough to leave his mark and then he's on his way,

A F#

He's so good they never have a clue,

A E B

til they're stuck with a half a heart tattoo,

A F#

So ladies make sure that guy standing next to you,

A E B

Ain't wearing no half a heart tattoo,

Half a heart tattoo

Half a heart tattoo,
