That's When Your Heartaches Begin Lyrics

If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of a friend
That's when your heartaches begin
When dreams of a lifetime
Must come to an end
That's when your heartaches begin

Love is a thing
You never can share
If you bring a friend
Into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart,
That's the end of your friend
That's when your heartaches begin.

a genious song, either way its looked at it is great. Either the friend becomes your lover, OR your friend steals your lover. WOW does anyone else see this or is it just me?

I believe the overall message of this song is to keep your friends away from your relationships, as "Love is a thing you can never share". This is because love is a sacred and powerful emotion we can have, and when we abuse our amount of love by searching for those around us for more love, i.e, friends, we lose the privacy and secrecy of our special relationship. Elvis Presley reflects that bringing friends into your relationship, and becoming ambitious for more love, is harmful, and can lead to devastating outcomes, in this song "Heartaches", due to the end of relationships between friends and lovers. Ultimately, the message is that we need to embrace love for what it is.
