[Title: Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That - His Side] [Intro: Telecaster lick, steel whine, bar crowd, glass set down hard] [Verse 1 - slow fluid beat ride, half amused half gutted, melodious low] Well I was doin' fine, stool warm, whiskey neat Told the boys I was healed, heart back in one piece Two weeks sober from your name on my phone Then that door swung open and my good sense gone You got that red dress like you knew I'd be here Hair done up like you been plottin' all year Smellin' like every bad decision I ever liked Walkin' past me like you didn't just wreck my life [Pre-Chorus: drums kick, steel builds] You coulda wore sweatpants, you coulda stayed home... [Chorus: full band, melodious hurt swagger, sticky sassy hook] Why'd you come in here lookin' like that? Like you didn't just leave me flat on my back Lipstick loaded like a .45 One look and I'm forgettin' I'm supposed to be fine Why'd you come in here lookin' like that? You know damn well I can't handle that You came to get closure or you came to get even? Either way girl you leavin' with me still bleedin' Why'd you come in here lookin' like that? [Verse 2 - rapid-fire chopper flow defensive, intricate sassy rhyme stack] Now you laughin' with the bartender, twirlin' that straw, killin' me soft Got every neck in this honky tonk breakin' off You know I know that look, that "I know you watchin'" look, that "I win" smirk That "remember what you lost" strut in them shoes that don't work... for work I was the one who said I was done, frontin' like I moved on, buzz cut, gym run Now I'm starin' at the reason that I'm dumb, numb, thumb on my beer tryin' not to come undone [Bridge - Breakdown, just upright + fiddle + vocal, slow fluid insecurity, plain-spoken devastating, guttural growl on end] You didn't have to look like that to prove you moved on Sweatpants woulda told me the same, you been gone But you came lookin' like a "remember what you lost" song And damn it... I remember... all night long [guttural growl: LONG!] [Final Double Chorus - big, Telecaster and steel trading, crowd hoots, full swagger hurt] Why'd you come in here lookin' like that? Like you didn't just leave me flat on my back Lipstick loaded like a .45 One look and I'm forgettin' I'm supposed to be fine Why'd you come in here lookin' like that? (why'd you come in here?) You know damn well I can't handle that (I can't handle that) You came to get closure or you came to get even? Girl you better leave 'fore I start believin' You came back for me... [Outro: door chime, she leaves, his glass slides] Yeah... she left again... lookin' like that.
