Lyrics
Untattoo You
V1
I got hot under the collar
When you started to holler
So I went chasing tequila with some of the guys
Now I won’t lie I got wasted
Stumbling home I got hasty
There beneath that neon tattoo sign
Heaven knows how long you been
Right there under my skin
Chorus
I had to untattoo you
I had to untattoo you
You used to start me up
Now you just shut me down
A little undo was overdue
I had to untattoo you
V2
I walked into the parlor
And I asked the tattoo artist
If he could remove that old faded ink
He said I got a fancy laser
Over time it will erase her
But there’s a faster way and then he winked
My head was still a buzzing
From that Cuervo and your fussing
Chorus
I had to untattoo you
I had to untattoo you
You used to start me up
Now you just shut me down
A little undo was overdue
I had to untattoo you
Bridge
In the sting of his needle
Was more pleasure than the pain
He drew a beautiful eagle
Right on top of your name
Chorus
I had to untattoo you
I had to untattoo you
A little undo was overdue
I had to untattoo you
Baby I’m gone
Like a rolling stone
