Hank Thompson Honky Tonk Girl lyrics

Don't be fooled by big blue eyes

By a smile or a golden curl

For she'll love you now

And then break every vow

'Cause she's just a honky-tonk girl

Don't be fooled by kisses

Or arms that hold you tight

There will be another

In her arms tomorrow night

Hearts to her are toy tops

She likes to watch 'em whirl

'Cause she's just a honky-tonk girl

You can never change her ways

Though you give her all the world

She's got more than one or two

And each day there's someone new

'Cause she's just a honky-tonk girl

Breaking hearts to her

Is just a way of having fun

She thinks every man's a fool

And you're another one

She knows all the arts of love

She'll give your heart a twirl

'Cause she's just a honky-tonk girl

Don't be fooled by kisses

Or arms that hold you tight

There will be another

In her arms tomorrow night

Hearts to her are toy tops

She likes to watch 'em whirl

'Cause she's just a honky-tonk girl
