He didn't come home till the light of the day
He wasn't with her he would say
They fought through the morning and all of the day
She'd have to kill him to get him to stay

Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away

She gave him everything that she had
Changed anything he said was bad

Love weighed on her heart like marble stone
Flash of the knife, he was gone
Said he would give her the sun and the moon
Now all she has is this eight-by-eight room

Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away
Killing him didn't make the love go away

She thought of him every night and all of the day
Missing the baby she did away
Blowing kisses to the concrete sky
Hoping they'd reach him in heaven high

Love weighed on her heart like marble stone
Flash of the knife, he was gone
Said he would give her the sun and the moon
Now all she has is this eight-by-eight room

Would you be my Tennessee valentine
Hold me close and call me dear
On more time
We'll waltz in the moonlight
And kiss beneath the pines
Would you be my Tennessee valentine

Heart to heart
Hand in hand
I love your sweet harmony
We slipped out of tune
Way too soon
I'm still trying to find the key

So would you be my Tennessee valentine
Hold me close and call me dear
On more time
We'll waltz in the moonlight
And kiss beneath the pines

Would you be my Tennessee valentine

I loved you then
I love you now
I pray that you will be mine
You hold the key
To my melody
A song that is just for you and me

So would you be my Tennessee valentine
Hold me close and call me dear
On more time
We'll waltz in the moonlight
And kiss beneath the pines
Would you be my Tennessee valentine

I went walking along a highway
Lost in a trance as I went on my way

I heard a bad beat
That weird, weird beat
Everywhere I put my feet

Well it all started about a week ago
When my lover told me
He said well baby you gotta go

I heard a bad beat
That weird, weird beat
Everywhere I put my feet

It was the beat of sorrow
It was the beat of the moon
I know I?ll be here tomorrow
If I don?t find another love soon

So I?ll keep walk, walk, walking
Walk, walk, walk,
Walking down the highway
Lost in trance as I went on my way

I heard a bad beat
That weird, weird beat
Everywhere I put my feet

So I went walking along the highway
Lost in a trance as I went on my way
And I heard a bad beat
That weird, weird beat
Everywhere I put my feet

Ooh trouble
He gives me nothing but trouble
Trouble, trouble
He keeps disturbing my sleep
Ooh trouble, trouble
He gives me nothing but trouble

Trouble, trouble
He gives me nothing but
Trouble

She walked through the park in the dark
Her best friend was her own heart beat
With every little step she'd take
She'd get one step closer to leaving

Sitting in her kitchen at night
She listened to the washing machine
Just wishing that she could leave
But there were so many loads to clean

She could hear it in her head sometimes
Like the change that she was saving in a jar
And the chains on the front porch swing
Were creaking like steps in the dark

One day soon this is all gonna end
One day soon maybe it'll all begin

He'd tell it to her all the time
He was the best thing she'd ever see

Oh he was stomping up and down the hall
But she could still hear the washing machine

She could hear it in her head sometimes
Like the change that she was saving in a jar
And the chains on the front porch swing
Were creaking like steps in the dark

One day soon this is all gonna end
One day soon maybe it'll all begin

What a fine mess
Pretty fine indeed
But it's just too much for me
For me and my washing machine
