  You can tell the world you never was my girl,  You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone,  You
You can tell my arms go back to the farm,        You can tell my feet to hit the floor.     Or

Verse:     (2x)        ... as above ...
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway

Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not OK.
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today
