Lyrics: Why’d You Come In Here Lookin’ Like That

Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that
In your cowboy boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl’s dream
Why’d you come in here looking like thatHere comes my baby
Draggin’ my heart behind
He’s drivin’ me crazy
Who says love is blind
He’s got a wanderin’ eye and a travelin’ mind
Big ideas and a little behind
Out with a different woman every night
But I remember when he was mine

Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl’s dream
Waltzing right in here lookin’ like that
Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that
When you could stop traffic in a gunney sack
Why you’re almost givin’ me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin’ like that

I just can’t stand it
To see him on the town
He’s out slow dancing
With every girl around
I’m a softhearted woman he’s a hardheaded man
And he’s gonna make me feel just as bad as he can
He’s got himself a mean streak a half a mile wide
But now he’s dancing on this heart of mine

Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl’s dream
Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that

Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl’s dream
Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that

Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that
When you could stop traffic in a gunney sack
Why you’re almost givin’ me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin’ like that
Why’d you come in here lookin’ like that
