You're back in town again spreadin' talk around
That I'm still in love with you though you let me down
I hate to admit it but I guess the talk is true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do

I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
That left me for somebody new
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
And that's why I'm feeling so blue

Why did you turn up again I was doing fine
I'd found another sweetheart to drive you from my mind
I thought that I'd forgotten you but I know that it's not true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do
I've got a new heartache...
