# YOU STARTED IT **JACK SAINT** [Intro — Chicken-Pickin' Telecaster, Honky-Tonk Piano, Boot Stomps] [Male — Spoken, Playful] For the record, she started it. [Female — Spoken, Laughing] Oh, here we go again. [Male — Spoken] I'm just telling the truth, darlin'. [Female — Spoken] Well, somebody ought to. [Band Kick — Telecaster Riff] [Verse 1 — Male Lead, Playful Baritone] Friday night at the county fair You walked by with that wild red hair Gave me a smile, then looked away Like you didn't know the game you played I was minding my own business With a cold beer in my hand Then you came walking through that crowd And ruined every single plan [Verse 2 — Female Lead, Sassy Alto] Now hold on, cowboy, that ain't right You'd been staring half the night Tipped your hat and flashed that grin Like you knew how this would end You spilled your drink upon my shoe Then blamed the whole thing on the moon When you asked me for a dance I figured I'd give trouble a chance [Pre-Chorus — Alternating Leads] [Male] You were looking for trouble [Female] You were looking for fun [Male] I was doing fine without you [Female] Till you came along, honey, come on! [Chorus — Both Voices, Big Honky-Tonk Harmonies] You started it! No, you started it! One little spark and a fire got lit One stolen kiss and we couldn't quit Ten years later, still loving it Blame my smile, blame your kiss Neither one would change a bit Call it love, call it fate But you started it! [Instrumental Hook — Telecaster and Piano] [Verse 3 — Alternating Leads, Playful Groove] [Male] Three weeks later on your daddy's porch Standing there with flowers and a nervous heart [Female] You were shaking in those borrowed boots But I was already falling hard for you [Male] Your daddy asked if I knew what I'd found [Female] You said, "The girl I can't live without" [Male] Then you kissed me underneath that light [Female] And I've been blaming you ever since that night! [Call and Response — Playful Vocal Exchanges] [Male] You winked first! [Female] You bought the beer! [Male] You whispered something in my ear! [Female] You asked me out! [Male] You said okay! [Female] You called me back the very next day! [Male] You stole my heart! [Female] You stole mine too! [Both — Harmonized] And look what all that trouble grew! [Bridge — Warm Piano, Acoustic Guitar] [Female] Ten years later, look at us Still laughing over all that fuss [Male] A little older, a little gray Still stealing kisses every day [Female] I'd fall for you all over again [Male] And I'd still swear you started it then [Both — Building Harmonies] Some arguments never end! [Final Chorus — Both Voices, Full Country-Rock Band] You started it! No, you started it! One little spark and a fire got lit One stolen kiss and we couldn't quit Ten years later, still loving it Blame my smile, blame your kiss Neither one would change a bit Call it love, call it fate But you started it! [Final Tag — Playful Call and Response] [Male] You started it! [Female] You finished it! [Male] I'd do it again! [Female] Well, get on with it! [Both — Big Final Harmony] You started it! [Outro — Band Stops, Spoken Dialogue] [Male — Spoken] So... we're agreeing you started it? [Female — Spoken, Laughing] Keep talking, cowboy. You're sleeping on the couch. [Male — Spoken] Worth it. [End — Telecaster Lick, Final Band Hit]
