Lately I?ve been lookin’ through the windows of my soul
And I can see there’s not much left to hold
Just an empty space surrounded by the pieces of
A badly broken heart that?s forgotten how to love

Chorus:
What my heart needs is a woman’s touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman’s touch

When I look in the mirror, the only thing I see
Are traces of the man I used to be
Late at night I hear it, it cannot be denied
A lonely voice is crying out from somewhere deep inside

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, its rough and ragged edges
Sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman’s touch

What my poor heart needs is a woman’s touch
A woman’s touch

Well I was getting kind of tired of her endless chatter
Nothing I can say ever seemed to matter
So I took a little drive just to clear my head
I saw a flashing neon up ahead
It looked like a place to find some satisfaction
With a little less talk and a lot more action

I paid the man at the door and pushed my way to the bar
I shouted for a drink over a screamin’ guitar
A drunk on the stool tried to mess with my head
But I didn’t even listen to a word that he said
I knew somewhere amid all this distraction
Was a little less talk and a lot more action

Chorus:
A little less talk if you please
A lot more lovin’ is what I need
Let’s get on down to the main attraction
With a little less talk and a lot more action

She was fightin’ ’em off at a corner table
She had a long neck bottle, she was peeling the label
The look on her face, it was perfectly clear
She said somebody please get me out of here
The look she shot me through the glass refraction
Said a little less talk and a lot more action

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

(Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick)

Someboyd told you that my broken heart started mending
I’m getting by, but the truth is that I’m still standing
Knee deep in yesterday’s rain

Well I ain’t high and dry, I ain’t got a big boat
But I got a new umbrella and an overcoat
And if the good Lord’s willing and the sun breaks through
That’ll be one more day that I made it without you
That I made it without you

I don’t care what the future holds
And don’t care about what you’ve been told
Don’t want to hear what the weatherman has to say
‘Cause I’m standing knee deep in yesterday’s rain

All those fools go rushing, they don’t hesitate
And the lonely go looking where the losers wait
And I’m thinking, somewhere in the middle there’s a love that’s true
But I ain’t found one yet, and I ain’t got you
No I ain’t got you baby

I don’t care what the future holds
And don’t care about what you’ve been told
Don’t want to hear what the weatherman has to say
‘Cause I’m standing knee deep in yesterday’s rain
Yesterday’s rain, yesterday’s rain, yesterday’s rain

Somebody told you that my broken heart started mending

Burning up the phone until there’s nothing left to say
So I lay here and just listen to your breathe
Girl you know it’s only been a week since our first date
Back when you were just a stranger to me
I’ve never let another in so soon
I’ve never been caught talking to the man in the moon

Chorus:
And yet, this is further than I’ve ever been
You know me much too well
Funny, it don’t feel like we just met
It didn’t take much time
Forever’s more than crossed my mind
And we haven’t even said “I love you” yet

Where did I surrender, can you tell me how and when
I’m the one who’s always in control
Leading with my heart like there is nothing to defend
As I lay it all out on the line, body and soul
I’ve never let another in so soon
I’ve never been caught talking to the man in the moon

Repeat Chorus

No we haven’t even said “I love you” yet

Word sure gets around in a tattle tale town
That’s why she never goes out at night
But when her kids go to school and her husband’s gone too
She gets in her car and she drives
To a little motel on the outskirts of town
Puts on her perfume and turns the bed down
And I?m the only one who knows Victoria’s secret

Chorus:
Her husband’s always working and he’s never home
And when he’s there with her he’s still gone
And she can’t stand livin’ and lovin’ alone
Oh she’s got her children to raise
That’s why she can’t let it show
And I’m the only one who knows Victoria’s secret

It’s PTA meetings and warm social greetings
A woman’s work never gets done
It’s church on Sunday, it starts again Monday
It seem she’s always on the run
And she gets so lonely it tears her in two
That’s when she does what a woman must do
And I?m the only one who knows Victoria’s secret

Repeat Chorus

Jacky Don Tucker was my daddy’s little brother
And at seventeen he jumped the fence
He joined a rock ‘n roll band, got a tattoo on his hand
Granny said he never had a lick of sense
‘Cause by the time he turned seven he was a stealin’ watermelons
Playin’ house with the girl next door
Drinkin’ muscadine wine by the time he was nine
Sneakin’ out and smokin’ cigarettes under the porch

Chorus:
He was a melon stealin’, cop-a-feelin’, daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin’, playin’ hooky from school
A water tower poet, class of ’73
He’d say by God you better know it if you’re runnin’ with me
‘Cause I’m a skinny dippin’ finger flippin’ song of a gun
Play by the rules, you gonna miss all the fun

He was always drag racin’ and he kept the sheriff chasin’
But they never caught ole Jacky Don
‘Cause he was nobody’s fool, the definition of cool
He even cut a donut on the courthouse lawn
He created quite a scandal that the locals couldn’t handle
When he took up with the preacher’s baby girl
They bought a new double wide and on their wedding night
Aunt Jenny went to rockin’ Uncle Jacky Don’s world

Repeat Chorus

Play by the rules, you’re gonna miss all the fun
Play by the rules, you’re gonna miss all the fun
