It's a heartache,
Nothin' but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late,
Hits you when you're down

It's a fool's game,
Nothin' but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain,
Feeling like a clown

It's a heartache,
Nothin' but a heartache
Love him till your arms break,
Then he lets 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

Ah, it's a heartache,
Nothin' but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late,
Hits you when you're down
Ah, nah, nah!

[Instrumental Break]

Oh, 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
Ooh

Ah, it's a heartache,
Nothin' but a heartache
Love him till your arms break,
Then he lets you down

(Oh, it's a heartache,)
Oh, it's a fool's game,
(Nothin' but a heartache)
Standing in the cold rain,
(Standing in the cold rain)
Feelin' like a clown

(It's a heartache,)
It's a heartache,
(Nothin' but a heartache)
Love him till your arms break,
(Love him till your arms break)
Ah, then he lets you down
Oh, yeah, down
