Lyrics
[Chorus]
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 that?
[Verse 1]
Here 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that?
When you could stop traffic in a gunny sack
Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin' like that
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, 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?
[Chorus]
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 lookin' like that?
[Chorus]
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that?
When you could stop traffic in a gunny sack
Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin' like that?
[Outro]
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that?
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that?
