Seven Year Ache

You act like you were just born tonight

Face down in a memory but feeling all right

So who does your past belong to today?

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

The boys in the bars thinking, who is this gal?

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 heroes when their pockets are full

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache

See what else your old heart can take

Girls say, when is he gonna give us some room

The boys say, god I hope he comes back soon

Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing

Still uptown on your downhill swing

Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?

Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?

Splitting your dice to be someone you're not

You say you're looking for something you might've 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

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache

See what else your old heart can take

Girls say, when is he gonna give us some room

The boys say, god I hope he comes back soon

Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing

Still uptown on your downhill swing

Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?

Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache

See what else your old heart can take

Girls say, when is he gonna give us some room

The boys 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

Girls say, when is he gonna give us some room

The boys say, god I hope he comes back soon
