Break me down and beat me blue There ain't a beauty on the planet comin' close to you In the harsh heat of summer or a cool, crisp fall I'd rather be ruined by you than be loved at all Well, my chest-talking, jaywalking, Levi jean queen I've been everywhere, I swear, and you're the finest I've seen Break me down and beat me blue There ain't a kindness on the planet that compares to you In the dark of the night or the light of day I'll long for you tomorrow as I did today Well, my daydreaming, people-pleasing, bright-on-dark-days girl I've fell hard and I've loved wide, and you're the rarest in the world Well, I've been known to chase extremes But in my dreams, it seems I'm only chasin' you Break me, beat me, tear me down, and drag my ass all over town I'll whisper you these sonnets till I'm blue Oh, I'll whisper you these sonnets till I'm blue Break me down and beat me blue There ain't a heaven on the planet that saves me like you The hallelujahs, oh, till you go on for miles A grown-ass man grinnin' like a child High on the mountain or the valley low Only thing that heals my blues no matter where I go
