[Chorus]
Oh, you poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
A little bitty woman just took you and tore you apart
I tried to warn you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen or pay no mind
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

[Verse 1]
I watched her buy her ticket at Charlotte, North Carolina
I heard her say, "One-way, please, for Denver"
She's going to meet that other guy
And 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
A little bitty woman just took you and tore you apart
I tried to warn you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen or pay no mind
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
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 gone to stay
I just wish this broken heart was going with her
[Chorus]
Oh, you poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
A little bitty woman just took you and tore you apart
I tried to warn you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen or pay no mind
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

[Outro]
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
