Heartache

I was born by a fire in a cold dark cave

In the age of the dinosaur

When the cave man caught his cave woman lovin'

On the living next door

There was cryin' and screamin'

And wardrooms beating and a wave of violence

None of them fools survived but me

And I've been hangin' 'round ever since

'Cause I'm a heartache never see me comin'

I'll always take you by surprise

I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'

For someone I can eat alive

By the time you know I'm on you

Buddy it's too late

I'm a heartache

I watched you takin' off tonight

And I knew where you were headed to

I saw that sweet young thing you met

At that dirty old motel room

Yeah I know I know you've a pretty little wife

Waitin' up for you at home

And you don't even know it but I'm just savin' you for later

When I can get you all alone

I'm a heartache never see me comin'

I'll always take you by surprise

I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'

For someone I can eat alive

By the time you know I'm on you

Buddy it's too late

I'm a heartache

From Anthony and Cleopatra Samson and Delilah

To Jackie and JFK Elvis and Priscilla Charles and Diana

I say I've had some pretty good days

You may not believe it but you and me son

Are about to have some real fun

'Cause I'm comin' oh I'm comin'

I'm a heartache never see me comin'

I'll always take you by surprise

I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'

Someone I can eat alive

By the time you know I'm on you

Buddy it's too late

I'm a heartache

I'm a heartache

I'm a heartache
