Text: Ronnie Milsap. Button Off My Shirt.

I heard the word going 'round town
They say that you're making a fool out of me
Baby, it took me some time to come around
To realize you were not what you seemed

Each day's passing, the clock's been my friend
Helped me get back on my feet again

Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
You're just the button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve
(I was down, down, down, I was down)

I'm not the first and I won't be the last
To make the mistake of believing in you
Listen to me now, I don't intend to live in the past
Just like they say, some you win, some you lose

You never loved me and you made it plain
Now it's my turn and I'm playing your game

Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt, right now
Like the button off-a my shirt and some day I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve

(Love and affection)
You started
(Changing directions)
You threw it away
(Down, down, down)
Hey girl, you threw it away
(Down, down, down)
Hey

You never loved me and you made it plain
Now it's my turn to make you understand

Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
Just the button off-a my shirt someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserved

Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
You're just the button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserved

Like the button off-a my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be over reacting if you think that I still hurt
You're just a button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you
