Humpty Dumpty Heart
Hank Thompson And His Brazos Valley Boys Lyrics

Humpty Dumpty set on the wall
The singer is comparing their heart to Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a big fall
The singer's heart was dropped and broken.

All the king's horses, all the king's men
No one, not even powerful people, can fix the singer's broken heart.

Could never put Humpty together again
The heart is too fragile to be repaired once it has been broken.

I've got a Humpty Dumpty heart
The artist's heart is irreparably broken.

You dropped it and broke it apart
The person the singer gave their heart to caused it to break.

‘Cause when I gave to you my heart
The singer gave their heart to someone they thought they could trust.

You said that we must part
However, that person ended the relationship.

That was my doom, my heart went boom
The artist's heart was devastated by the end of the relationship.

A heart is a fragile thing
The artist reflects on the fact that hearts are fragile.

When dropped, it won't bounce or ring
Once a heart is broken, it cannot function properly.

It ain't no joke ‘cause when it's broke
The artist emphasizes the seriousness of a broken heart.

No love song will it sing
The singer's broken heart prevents them from feeling any love.

I didn't think you were that sort
The singer expresses surprise that the person they trusted could break their heart.

When I handed you my heart
The singer trusted the person they gave their heart to.

You got it on a platter but you let it shatter
However, that person did not treat the artist's heart with care.

My Humpty Dumpty heart
The artist's heart cannot be fixed, just like Humpty Dumpty.

All the king's horses, all the king's men
No one can fix the singer's broken heart.

Could never put it together again
Once a heart is broken, it cannot be repaired.
