Lyrics
VERSE
She wanted me all to herself, so I gave up all my friends
Smokin' hot; it was just me and her; a dream you don't want to end
I did not think it could last, but I just had to pretend
Now she's gone and how's she's left me, oh, I could not recommend

CHORUS
Now hangin' around with a heartache
Just ain't no way to be
The way she left is hard to take
(whispered) Man, she's killin' me
It's bad enough that she's gone
Even worse, here comes the dawn
Empty bed; she knows I'm all alone
Just hangin' around with a heartache

SOLO/VERSE
Heartaches won't let you down; always they're hangin' around
Never smile; always frown; they come from the bad side of town
It don't do no good to walk away; they follow you everywhere
You can tell them to leave you alone, but they are always there

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
All I got left is hangin' around with a heartache
