Tell a little white lie
And then multiply by ten
And then, thats how a heartache begins
Mix some flowers he bought
With a date he forgot to attend
And then, thats how a heartache begins
I know about heartaches
I know all the mistakes
That a young love can make, Ive made them
So lets still be friends
To the soft violins
Ive listened while somebody played them
Call his number in vain
Again and again, hes not in
But then, thats how a heartache begins
(repeat last two verses)
Thats how a heartache begins
