Intro: organ

Heartbreak, it’s hurtin' me

Weak in the knees, loose in the head

My baby has left me

And I wish that I was dead

Heartbreak, it’s hurtin' me

I’m dyin' in the eye

Lost my sense of touch

My baby has left me

I love her so much

Heartbreak, it’s hurtin' me

She lead me to believe

That I was all she had

This morning I was happy

Tonight I got 'em bad

Heartbreak, it’s killing me

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

(Instrumental, sax & organ)

I know been a fool

How taken I have been

If I see my baby

I’d run to her again

Heartbreak, it’s a-hurting me

It’s hurting me

If I was a judge

I’d send her to the chair

I’d sit right down beside her

And she wouldn’t leave me here

Yea-eah

Heartbreak

It’s hurtin' me

Heartbrea-yoo-hoo-hoo, yea-eah

FADES-

It’s what I’ll do
