Like a baby goes for candy that's the way I went for you
It's a wonder I'm still livin' after all you've put me through
It would take a mighty miracle to make things turn out right
For loneliness is here and happiness is out of sight
Oh the heartaches have just started and the worst is yet to come
The tears have started fallin' we've got true love on the run
Up to now you've had me hangin' but now you've run out of rope
And when you see the backdoor swingin' you'll know I've run out of hope
[ steel - piano ]
I've done everything I could to save this love affair of ours
I took you home and loved you wined and dined you by the hours
Had you caviar and champagne that's the best that I could do
But the best I had to offer wasn't good enough for you
Oh the heartaches have just started
When you see the backdoor swingin' you'll know I've run out of hope
