Walker Hayes - Don't Let Her Lyrics

Walker Hayes Lyrics

"Don't Let Her"

She always said if something ever
Happened to me she would never
Fall in love again
What a waste

We always said we'd go together
But if I'm just half of her forever
This goes out to whoever
Takes my place

She don't give 2 cents about money
Likes a little coffee in her honey
Let her sleep late as she wants
Home is her favorite restaurant
Don't you dare come home if you're hammered
Better watch your mouth and your grammar
She loves babies, hates glitter
You better shave before you kiss her
And if she ever misses me, please, don't let her

She's insecure about her legs, right
Something wrong with her head, right
Just tell her she's crazy (crazy)
Even though she won't believe you, nah

Best advice I can give you, brother
Don't ever say she's acting just like her mother
Even though she does sometimes
It's gonna be our little secret

She don't give 2 cents about money
Likes a little coffee in her honey
Let her sleep late as she wants
Home is her favorite restaurant
Don't you dare come home if you're hammered
Better watch your mouth and your grammar
She loves babies, hates glitter
You better shave before you kiss her
And if she ever misses me, please, don't let her

Make her feel better
Say something funny
Say something 'bout the weather
Tell her wherever I am, I'm good
And if she thinkin' she can love again
She should understood

Orchids, that's her favorite flower
Don't ever watch "The Office" without her
After church, she gonna talk
Her favorite season is football

She don't give 2 cents about money
Likes a little coffee in her honey
Let her sleep late as she wants
Home is her favorite restaurant
Don't you dare come home if you're hammered
Better watch your mouth and your grammar
She loves babies, hates glitter
You better shave before you kiss her
And if she ever misses me, please, don't let her

"Don't Let Her" addresses the next man who will come into a woman's life when (or if) her first man dies early. The song is based on Walker Hayes and his wife Laney.

The idea of the song came to Walker Hayes when he was touring the UK. He missed his family and wife. He later explained in a press release, that he had thought, "...if somebody were to hang out with her, what would they need to know about her."

Walker Hayes told Taste of Country how he had felt during writing of "Don't Let Her" about his wife, "At the same time, I don't know why, I was thinking about a game she and I have played our entire relationship. And that game is the whole 'What would you do if something happened to me?' game."
