[Chorus]
Oh, you poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty woman gonna tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

[Verse]
Yeah, I watched her buy her ticket in Charlotte, North Carolina
And I heard her say, "One-way, please, to Denver"
She's going to meet that other guy
It won't do us no good to cry
'Cause she's wearing his ring on her finger

[Chorus]
Oh, you poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty woman gonna tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

[Verse 2]
Well, I watched her tip the porter
As she stepped aboard that midnight train
Bound to take her far away forever
I watched the taillight fade away
Knowing she was gonna stray
And I wish this broken heart was leaving with her
[Chorus]
Oh, you poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
Yeah, a little bitty woman gonna tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
