Nothing But Heartaches (Album Version) Lyrics
Nothing but heartaches.
Ooh, nothing but heartaches.
He brings nothing but heartaches.
Ooh.
I can't break away from his arms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his charms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his kiss, (I can't break away.)
'Cause his kiss I'll surely miss. (I can't break away.)
All my life, I needed someone to need me,
So I do my very best to please him.
But the more and more I care,
The more of him other girls share.
When I need a hand to hold,
That's the time he leaves me all alone.
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep.
(He brings nothing but heartaches.)
Nothing but heartaches.
Ooh, nothing but heartaches. (He brings nothing but heartaches.)
But I can't break away, oh no.
I keep on loving him move each day.
Ooh, I can't break away from his arms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his charms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his kiss, (I can't break away.)
'Cause his kiss I'll surely miss.
To him I'm loyal, to him I'm true.
Why can't he be the same way too?
But the more my love has grown,
The less love he had shown.
He makes promises he doesn't keep.
Sometimes I don't see him all week.
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep.
(He brings nothing but heartaches.)
Nothing but heartaches.
Ooh, nothing but heartaches. (He brings nothing but heartaches.)
But I can't break away, oh no.
I keep on loving him more each day.
Ooh, I can't break away from his arms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his charms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his kiss, (I can't break away.)
'Cause his kiss I'll surely miss. (I can't break away.)
Nothing but heartaches.
Ooh, nothing but heartaches. (He brings nothing but heartaches.)
I can't break away, oh no.
I keep on loving him more each day.
I can't break away from his arms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his charms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his kiss, (I can't break away.)
'Cause his kiss I'll surely miss. (I can't break away.)
Ooh, nothing but heartaches.
He brings nothing but heartaches.
Ooh.
I can't break away from his arms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his charms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his kiss, (I can't break away.)
'Cause his kiss I'll surely miss. (I can't break away.)
So I do my very best to please him.
But the more and more I care,
The more of him other girls share.
When I need a hand to hold,
That's the time he leaves me all alone.
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep.
(He brings nothing but heartaches.)
Ooh, nothing but heartaches. (He brings nothing but heartaches.)
But I can't break away, oh no.
I keep on loving him move each day.
Ooh, I can't break away from his arms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his charms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his kiss, (I can't break away.)
'Cause his kiss I'll surely miss.
Why can't he be the same way too?
But the more my love has grown,
The less love he had shown.
He makes promises he doesn't keep.
Sometimes I don't see him all week.
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep.
(He brings nothing but heartaches.)
Ooh, nothing but heartaches. (He brings nothing but heartaches.)
But I can't break away, oh no.
I keep on loving him more each day.
Ooh, I can't break away from his arms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his charms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his kiss, (I can't break away.)
'Cause his kiss I'll surely miss. (I can't break away.)
Ooh, nothing but heartaches. (He brings nothing but heartaches.)
I can't break away, oh no.
I keep on loving him more each day.
I can't break away from his arms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his charms. (I can't break away.)
I can't break away from his kiss, (I can't break away.)
'Cause his kiss I'll surely miss. (I can't break away.)
