The Girl With The “I Love You Tattoo”

The Girl With The I Love You Tattoo Lyrics by Ton Smith [Verse] She was just seventeen, a daddy’s girl chasing dreams, One of nine kids from a small-town scene. Moved ‘round a lot but her heart stayed true, Soft voice, strong soul, and a southern view. Then he came in like a hurricane, All charm and flowers, playing it safe Opened her door, made her feel brand new, She wanted forever he promised it too [Chorus] She’s the girl with the “I Love You” tattoo, Got it for a boy that broke her heart in two. She’s a wild child, number nine, a partner in crime, A country girl with city eyes that shines So many things about her I wish I knew, This girl with the “I Love You” tattoo. [Verse] At first it was magic, laughter, and home, But love made her blind from what's going on. He called her slow, made her feel small, But she still believed in love through it all. So she marked her skin, a vow in ink, “I Love You” forever or so she’d think. Hoping he’d see that their fire still burned, But the flame went out, with a hard lesson learned [Chorus] She’s the girl with the “I Love You” tattoo, Got it for a boy that broke her heart in two. She’s a wild child, number nine, a partner in crime, A country girl with city eyes that shines. So many things about her I wish I knew, This girl with the “I Love You” tattoo. [Bridge] Now she laughs a little louder, Walks a little prouder too a simple reminder, of a heart that's brand new That She learned love ain’t about him, It’s the strength she found within. [Chorus] Yeah, she’s the girl with the “I Love You” tattoo, But it don’t mean him, it means “I love you.” For the mirror she faces, the dreams she’ll chase, The woman she became, that no one can replace. And one thing’s true I learned something too, From that girl with the “I Love You” tattoo. Yeah, she’s the girl... with the “I Love You” tattoo.
