Seven Year Ache

You act like you were just born tonight
 Face down in a memory but feeling all right
 So, who does your past belong to today?
 Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
 Girls in the bars thinking who is this guy
 But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
 You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
 Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
 Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
 See what else your old heart can take
 Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
 The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"
 ♪
 And everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
 You're still uptown on your downhill swing
 The boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
 Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
 There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
 Just say you're looking for something you might have forgot
 Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
 'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home
 Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
 See what else your old heart can take
 Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
 But the girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"
