Seven Year Ache

You act like you were just born tonight

Face down in a memory but feeling alright

So who does your past belong to today

Baby, you don't say nothing when your feeling this way

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 heros 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 talkin' but you don't hear a thing

Still uptown on your downhill swing

Boulevards empty why don't you come around

Baby what's so great about sleeping downtown

There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not

Just say you're looking for something you might have 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"
