Lyrics
EVERY TIME I'M IN THE CITY
WOMAN ASKS ME FOR A LOAN
SAYS HER BABY NEEDS DIAPERS
AND THE KIDS ARE HOME ALONE
DON'T ASK ME WHY I BELIEVE HER
I SUSPECT THAT LITTLE GIRL DONE ME WRONG.
WENT IN BUSINESS WITH MY BUDDY
THOUGHT I'D MAKE ME A MILLION BUCKS
HE SAID "MAN YOU LET ME HOLD THE MONEY
WHILE I GO AND GET THE STUFF
DON'T ASK ME WHY I BELIEVED HIM
I THOUGHT HIS WORD WOULD BE ENOUGH
ALL HEART, NO BRAIN,
ALL HEART NO BRAIN,
(MY MOMMA DONE TOLD ME)
ALL HEART NO BRAIN,
SOMETIME I DOUBT YOU HAVE SENSE
ENOUGH TO COME IN WHEN IT RAINS.
TOLD THIS BEAUTY THAT I LOVED HER
SHE SAID BOY DON'T WAST YOUR TIME
BUT I WAS SURE IF I WAITED
I KNEW THAT I COULD MAKE HER MINE
BEEN TEN YEARS STEADY WAITIN'
GUESS IT'STIME I MOVED ON DOWN THE LINE
ALL HEART, NO BRAIN,
ALL HEART NO BRAIN,
(MY MOMMA DONE TOLD ME)
ALL HEART NO BRAIN,
GUESS I SHOULD'VE USED MY HEAD
BUT THE NEXT TIME, I'D PROBABLY DO THE SAME.
