Seven Year Ache

You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory, but feelin' all right
So who does your past belong to today?
Baby, you don't say nothin' when you're feelin' this way

The girls in the bars, thinkin' "Who is this guy?"
But they don't think nothin' when they're tellin' you lies
You look so careless when they're shootin' that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full

Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven year ache
See what elese your old heart can take
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
You're still uptown on your down hill swing
The Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleepin' downtown?

There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Just say you're lookin' for somethin' you might have forgot
Don't bother callin' to say you're leavin' alone
'Cos there's a fool on every corner when you're tryin' to get home

Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven year ache
See what elese your old heart can take
Boys say: "When is he gonna give us some room?"
The girls say: "God, I hope he comes back soon"

Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven year ache
See what elese your old heart can take
Boys say: "When is he gonna give us some room?"
The girls say: "God, I hope he comes back soon"
