LYRICS
Baby, you’ll come knocking on my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said, “Hey well, what am I supposed to do?”
I didn’t know what I was getting into
Say you’ve had a little trouble in town
Say you’re keeping some demons down
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my (stop)
Stop draggin’ my heart around, yeah
It’s hard to think about what you wanted
It’s hard to think about what you lost
This doesn’t have to be the big get even
This doesn’t have to be anything at all
I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl
And baby, you could never look me in the eye
Oh, when you buckle with the weight of the words
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my (stop)
Stop draggin’ my heart around, yeah
There’s people running ’round loose in the world
Ain’t got nothing better to do
They make a meal of some bright-eyed kid
You need someone to look after you
I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl
And baby, you could never look me in the eye
But why you buckle with the weight of the words (yeah)
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my (stop)
Stop draggin’ my heart around, yeah
Stop draggin’ my heart around
Stop draggin’ my heart around (hey, hey, hey)
Oh, won’t you stop draggin’ my heart around? (Hey, hey, hey)
Stop draggin’ my heart around
