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 it 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
