you act like you were just born tonight
face down in a memory but feeling all right
so who does your past belong to today
baby you don’t say nothing when you’re feeling this way
the girls in the bars thinking who is this guy
but they don’t think nothing when they’re telling you lies
you look so careless when they’re shooting that bull
don’t you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
tell me you’re trying to cure a sevenyear ache
see what else your old heart can take
the boys say when is he gonna give us some room
the girls say god i hope he comes back soon
everybody’s talking but you don’t hear a thing
you’re still uptown on your downhill swing
boulevard’s empty why don’t you come around
baby what is so great about sleeping downtown
there’s plenty of dives to be someone you’re not
you say you’re looking for something you might’ve forgot
don’t bother calling to say you’re leaving alone
’cause there’s a fool on every corner when you’re trying to get home
tell me you’re trying to cure a sevenyear ache
see what else your old heart can take
the boys say when is he gonna give us some room
the girls say god i hope he comes back soon
tell me you’re trying to cure a sevenyear ache
see what else your old heart can take
the boys say when is he gonna give us some room
the girls say god i hope he comes back soon
