My heart's too broke to pay attention

If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall

Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions

My heart's too broke to pay attention



I was heart broke and feelin' down

Billy Joe said let's go to town

He said an ounce of cure 

Is worth a pound of prevention

He said I know a little waterin' hole 

Where the band is hot and the beer is hot

There's more woman there

Than at a Tupperware convention



My heart's too broke to pay attention

If love was a penny I couldn't afford to fall

Every girl in the world tonight could have sweet intentions

My heart's too broke to pay attention



I aint ready for another love

Billy Joe's trying to fix me up

He's a friend to the end 

He's a man on a mission

He just punched me in the side 

Said did you see what just walked by

She had a million dollar smile

And a body in mint condition
