**Verse 1:**
It's a heartache, just a heartache,
Strikes you when it's too late,
Hits you when you’re low.
It's a fool’s game, just a fool’s game,
Out in the cold rain, feeling like a show.

**Chorus:**
It’s a heartache, nothing but heartache,
Love 'til your arms ache, then you're let down.
It’s not right to share your love,
When they don’t care about you.
Not wise to need someone
As much as I counted on you.

**Verse 2:**
Oh, it’s a heartache, merely a heartache,
Strikes when it's too late,
Hits when you're on the ground.
It’s a fool’s game, just a fool’s game,
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown.

**Chorus:**
It’s a heartache, simply a heartache,
Love 'til your arms ache, then you're let down.
It’s not right to share your love,
When they don’t care about you.
Not wise to need someone
As much as I counted on you.

**Outro:**
Oh, it’s a heartache, just a heartache,
Love 'til your arms ache, then you're let down.
It’s a fool’s game, standing in the cold rain,
Feeling like a clown.
