Headaches pass

Heartaches never do

They hang around and wait

For someone new

Someone naive enough to believe

This time it's for real

Break ups hurt

Time and time again

There's just no way

Of getting used to them

Makes it harder to believe

Next time it's for real

Baby you're just what I need

Just what I want

While I know for a fact

That it won't last long

You'd better get out

While you still can

The city sleeps

But I stay up all night

I sing along

To bluesy heartbreak songs

Makes it harder to believe

Next time is for real

Baby you're just what I need

Just what I want

While I know for a fact

That won't last long

You'd better get out

While you still can

But if you're not impressed

With a broken heart

I suggest you stay

Though it might seem I have lost all hope

I've got nothing left to lose

I can easily be persuaded

And fall in love with you

Baby you're just what I need

Just what I want

While I know for a fact

That it won't last long

You'd better get out

While you still can

I'd better keep trying

While I still can
