I was born by fire in a cold dark cave

In the age of the dinosaur

When a cave man caught his cave woman lovin' 

On the missing link livin' next door

There was cryin' and screamin' and war drums a beatin'

And a wave o' violence

None o' them folks survived but me

And I been hangin' 'round ever since



'Cause I'm a heartache never see me comin'

I'll always take you by surprise 

I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'

Someone I can eat alive

By the time you know I'm on you

Buddy it's too late

I'm a heartache (heartache)



I watched you takin' off tonight

And I knew where you were headed to

I saw that sweet young thing you met

At that dirty ol' motel room

'ell I'm gnawin' on your pretty little wife

Waitin' up for you at home

You don't even know it but I'm just savin' you for later

When I can getcha all alone



Yeah, I'm a heartache never see me comin'

I'll always take you by surprise 

I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'

Someone I can eat alive

By the time you know I'm on you

Buddy it's too late

I'm a heartache (heartache)



From Anthony and Cleopatra

Samson and Delilah

To Jackie and JFK

To Elvis and Priscilla

Charles and Diana

I'd say I've had some pretty good days

And you may not believe it

But you and me son 

Are 'bout to have some real fun

'cause I'm comin'...ah I'm comin'



I'm a heartache never see me comin'

I'll always take you by surprise 

I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'

Someone I can eat alive

By the time you know I'm on you

Buddy it's too late

I'm a heartache (heartache)

I'm a heartache (heartache)

I'm a heartache (heartache)
