Lyrics
Baby you’ll come knocking on my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said yeah, well, what am I supposed to do?
I didn’t know what I was getting into
So you’ve had a little trouble in town
Now you’re keeping some demons down
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my heart around
It’s hard to think about what you’ve wanted
It’s hard to think about what you’ve 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
Baby you could never look me in the eye
Yeah you buckle with the weight of the words
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my heart around
There’s people running ’round loose in the world
Ain’t got nothing better to do
Make a meal of some bright eyed kid
You need someone looking after you
I know you really want to tell me goodbye
I know you really want to be your own girl
Baby, you could never look me in the eye
Yeah you buckle with the weight of the words
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my
Stop draggin’ my heart around
Stop draggin’ my heart around
Stop draggin’ my heart around (hey, hey, hey)
Stop draggin’ my heart around (hey, hey, hey)
Stop draggin’ my heart around
