Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a heartache
Nothin' but a heartache
Hits when you it's too late
Hits when you're down
[Verse 2]
It's a fool's game
Nothin' but a fool's game
Standin' in the cold rain
Feelin' like a clown
[Verse 3]
It's a heartache
Nothin' but a heartache
Love her till your arms break
Then she lets you down
[Verse 4]
It ain't right with love to share
When you find she doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
[Verse 5]
Oh, it's a heartache
Nothin' but a heartache
Hits when you it's too late
Hits when you're down
[Verse 6]
It's a fool's game
Nothin' but a fool's game
Standin' in the cold rain
Feelin' like a clown
[Verse 7]
It ain't right with love to share
When you find she doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
[Verse 8]
Oh, it's a heartache
Nothin' but a heartache
Love her till your arms break
Then she lets you down
[Verse 9]
It's a fool's game
Nothin' but a fool's game
Standin' in the cold rain
Feelin' like a clown
[Verse 10]
It's a heartache
It's a heartache
Standin' in the cold rain
Then she lets you down
