A Heartache Tonight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can't say we're lovers, can't say we're friends
Don't even know if I'll see you again
But against your warm body I felt so alive
And you got me over a heartache tonight
My heart was broken, my hurt was deep
I had lost something I wanted to keep
Lookin' for comfort when you caught my eye
And you got me over a heartache tonight
Chorus:
Sweet conversation, a drink and a dance
Led to an evening of making romance
And I don't even care if it's wrong or it's right
'cause you got me over a heartache tonight
2nd chorus:
Yes, you got me over a heartache tonight
Stirring up passion brought me back to life
Oh, and it may not last, but who know it just might
But you got me over a heartache tonight
Yes, you got me over a heartache tonight
