Lyrics
“It’s A Heartache”
It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re downIt’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clownIt’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you downIt 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 youIt’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re downIt’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown[Instrumental Interlude]
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 youOh, it’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you downIt’s a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It’s a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It’s a fools game
Standing in the cold rain…
