Like a baby goes for candy
That's the way I went for you
It's a wonder I'm still livin'
After all you've put me through.

It would take a mighty miracle
To make things turn out right
For loneliness is here
And happiness is out of sight.

Oh, the heartaches have just started
And the worst is yet to come
The tears have started fallin'
We've got true love on the run.

Up to now you have me hangin'
But now you've run out of rope
And when you see the backdoor swingin'
You'll know I've run out of hope.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

Had your caviar and champagne
That's the best that I could do
But the best I had to offer
Wasn't good enough for you.

Oh, the heartaches have just started
And the worst is yet to come
The tears have started fallin'
We've got true love on the run.

Up to now you have me hangin'
But now you've run out of rope
And when you see the backdoor swingin'
You'll know I've run out of hope...
