[00:00.00] You can tell the world
[00:10.68]you never was my girl,
[00:12.84]you can burn my clothes
[00:14.28]up when I am gone.
[00:16.92]You can tell your friends
[00:18.66]just what a fool I've been,
[00:20.61]and laugh and joke
[00:21.69]about me on the phone
[00:24.72]You can tell my arms:
[00:26.49]Go back into the farm!
[00:28.74]You can tell my feet
[00:30.00]to hit the floor.
[00:32.73]You can tell my lips
[00:34.41]to tell my fingertips,
[00:36.36]they won't be reaching out
[00:37.92]for you no more.
[00:40.32]But don't tell my heart,
[00:42.24]my achy breaky heart,
[00:44.25]I just don't think he'll understand.
[00:48.18]But if you tell my heart,
[00:50.16]my achy breaky heart,
[00:52.14]he might blow up and kill this man.
[01:12.00]You can tell your Ma,
[01:13.83]I moved to Arkansas,
[01:16.02]you can tell your dog
[01:17.37]to bite my leg.
[01:19.74]Or tell your brother Cliff,
[01:21.66]whose fist can tell my lips,
[01:23.61]he never really liked me anyway.
[01:27.48]Or tell your Aunt Louise,
[01:29.49]tell anything you please,
[01:31.53]myself already knows I'm not O.K.
[01:35.37]Or you can tell my eyes
[01:37.38]to watch out for my mind,
[01:39.30]it might be walkin' out
[01:40.86]on me one day.
