Still hurtin' like the night she went away
Here you come a double shot of trouble in your eyes
Heaven knows there'll be hell to pay

I can't take but just one heartache at a time
I've gotta wait 'til I've had a chance
To drink her off my mind
I'll save some tears and meet you here
Somewhere down the line
I can't take but just one heartache at a time

I'd be lying, lying in your loving arms
And tempted as I am I can't pretend
Just my luck
You picked tonight to set your sights on me
Darling can't you see the shape I'm in

I can't take but just one heartache at a time
I've gotta wait 'til I've had a chance
To drink her off my mind
I'll save some tears and meet you here
Somewhere down the line
I can't take but just one heartache

I can't take but just one heartache at a time
I've gotta wait 'til I've had a chance
To drink her off my mind
I'll save some tears and meet you here
Somewhere down the line
I can't take but just one heartache at a time

Oh, I can't take but just one heartache at a time
