Lying alone at night

Listen to the rain that's falling down

You're calling out your baby's name

Ah but she just ain't around

Sleep don't come at all

You can't ease a troubled mind

Yeah they call it love

Ah but it's the heartbreak kind



Rumors whispered low

There's been talk around the town

Phone don't ring no more

Friends they say don't come around

Suspicion running high

But she says everything's just fine

She tells you that it's love

Ah but it's the heartbreak kind



There's darkness all around

As the evening shadows fall

Time keeps dragging by

But she ain't coming home at all

You tell yourself she still cares

But pretty soon you're gonna find

You thought it was a lasting love

Ah but it's the heartbreak kind

You thought it was a lasting love

Ah but it's the heartbreak kind
