So you say you're thinking of falling in love
Going way out on a limb
And it seems like push is coming to shove
Just look at the shape that I'm in

I have paid the price for love
And it ain't cheap
Better take a long hard look
Before you leap

If the fall don't get you, baby
And your fading heart is beating still
If the fall don't get you
Baby, the heartache will

The heartache, the heartache will
The heartache, the heartache will

One law of love I know is true
What goes up must come down
Well, it happened to me, it can happen to you
I'm just lucky to still be around

I know what I say right now
Don't make much sense
You should listen
To the voice of experience

If the fall don't get you, baby
And your fading heart is beating still
If the fall don't get you
Baby, the heartache will

The heartache, the heartache will
The heartache, the heartache will

If the fall don't get you, baby
And your fading heart is beating still
If the fall don't get you
Baby, the heartache will

The heartache, the heartache will
The heartache, the heartache will
