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've had 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

[ steel - piano ]

I've done everything I could to save this love affair of ours

I took you home and loved you wined and dined you by the hours

Had 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

Oh the heartaches have just started...

When you see the backdoor swingin' you'll know I've run out of hope
