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 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"

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?

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

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"

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"
