[Verse 1]
Like the baby goes for candy that's the way I went for you
It's a wonder I'm still living after all you've put me through
It would take a modern miracle to make things turn out right
For loneliness is here and happiness is out of sight

[Chorus]
Oh, the heartaches have just started and the worst is yet to come
The tears have started falling, we've got true love on the run
Up till now you've have me hanging but now you've run out of rope
And when you see the backdoor swinging, you'll know I've run out of hope

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I've done everything I could to save this love affair of ours
Took you to the finest places, wined and dined you every hour
Fed you caviar and champagne, that's the best that I could do
But the best I had to offer wasn't good enough for you

[Chorus]
Oh, the heartaches have just started and the worst is yet to come
The tears have started falling, we've got true love on the run
Up till now you've have me hanging but now you've run out of rope
And when you see the backdoor swinging, you'll know I've run out of hope
