About Hey Mister Heartache

"Hey Mister Heartache" is the first single from Close, the 1988 album by British singer Kim Wilde. Although only a minor hit in Wilde's native UK, it was a Top 20 success throughout Europe and marked the beginning of a very successful year for the star — during which she would have a best-selling album, several more successful singles and support Michael Jackson on the European leg of his tour. "Hey Mister Heartache" featured vocals by Junior Giscombe, with whom Wilde had duetted on the Another Step (Closer to You) hit the previous year). However, this part of the song was edited down for the single version. The song was also extended for the 12" and CD-single formats, and a second 12" featuring the "Kilo Watt Remix" by Timmy Regisford was also released in the UK.

Darlin' don't you know I've had enough
Wasting all my time
Darlin' put it on the line
Cos I heard you lying time and time again
Ooh and I don't want to any more
This is where our loving has to end
Darlin' now you know the score
So goodbye Baby

Hey Mr Heartache how much can you fake
How many hearts break before you get enough
Hey Mr Heartache you don't give you just take
I hope for your sake you don't turn your back on love

Darlin' don't know what you're looking for
But I'm not waiting around to see
Darlin' can't take any more
I still love you but I'm gonna set you free
Ooh that's the way it's got to be
Cos I know I can't change you anyway
Darlin' there's nothing left to say
But goodbye baby

Hey Mr Heartache how much can you fake
How many hearts break before you get enough
Hey Mr Heartache you don't give you just take
I hope for your sake you don't turn your back on love

Listen to me, so listen to me
Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Cos I was stupid to believe
You could give me what I need
You use anyone you can
Yet you call yourself a man
We'll seen through your disguise
And it's all that I despise
Now you've just run out of time
Go before I change my mind

Hey Mr Heartache, cos I love you baby
Hey Mr Heartache I still love you baby

I still love you but I'm gonna set you free
Ooh that's the way it's got to be
Cos I know I can't change you anyway
Darlin' there's nothing left to say
But goodbye baby

Junior:You don't know what I'm going through
You got me wrong, oh so wrong
Think you've sown me up
But you're so wrong
I want you girl, all the time
Come on now
You don't know what I'm going through, baby
