TEAR ME APART
(Mike Chapman / Nicky Chinn)


Tanya Tucker - 1979



        

Straight out o' Texas, down around San Antone
Straight out o' hell, and sweeter than you've ever known
Don't let me hear that sweet kid's name
Get your hands on me and I'll drive you insane
So tear me apart if you wanna win my heart

Well, I've been seen in the back of a limousine
Well, I may not own it, but it's bigger than you've ever seen
She ride around and thinks she's a star
If you think she's a tease, you won't get far
So tear me apart if you wanna win my heart

I'll make your lips start shakin' ever'time you hear my name
And there'll be no heartbreakin' and you'll never ever be the same
Don't talk to me about Rubyanna Sue
'Cause she can't do the things that I can do
So tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Aw, tear me apart

(Instrumental Break)

I'm gonna say goodbye to the lights o' San Antone
I'm headin' Hollywood high and there I'm gonna make my home
Well, I don't give a damn what they think they've seen
'Cause they ain't seen nothin' like a Texas queen
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
(Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart)
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
(Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart)
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
(Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart)
Well, just tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
(Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart)
Just tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
(Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart)
