It's a heartache Nothin but a heartache Hit you when its too late Hit you when you're down It's a fool's game Nothin but a fool's game Standing in the cold rain Feelin like a clown It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Lovin till your arms break Then he let you down It ain't right with love to share When you find he doesn't care For you It ain't wise to need someone As much as I depended on You
