You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
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
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?
Splitting your dice 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"
