Seven Year Ache

You act like you were just born tonight

Face down in a memory but feeling alright

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?

You tell me you're trying to cure a seven year 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"

And everybody's talking, but you don't hear a thing

You're still uptown on your downhill swing

The 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

Just 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

Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven year 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"

You tell me you're trying to cure a seven year 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"
