Broken Nose

I’m a sucker for a broken nose
sleepy eyes and Roman toes
slim hips and a big strong smile
soft lips and a style that’s kind of wild

he’s been around the block and back again
lived to tell a tale or two
not what you’d call a perfect gentleman
but he’s got a heart that’s true

I’m just a city kid
with a sentimental streak
and a weakness for a ruined reputation
wouldn’t try to advertise for a wise guy
but it takes a taste of trouble to inspire my fascination

and he’s got me so
can’t seem to tear myself away
my heart would hurt if he should ever go
but I believe he’s here to stay
cuz I’m a sucker
for a broken nose
