Performer Long John Baldry
Title Let the hearteache begin
Lyrictext

I can hear the guitar start to play
And very soon they say
I was a fool to turn my love away

And with each glass of wine I feel a glow
And very soon I know
I was a fool to let my baby go

So let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
Tears won't help anymore

Yes, let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
Now she's gone I can't hold back the tears
Anymore

I can see the couples dancing through the night
They hold each other tight
As they dance on and on 'till the morning light

The soft embraces that they seem to share
Just make me feel aware
Of the loneliness I've tried so hard to bear

So let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win

I've lost that girl for sure
Tears won't help anymore

Yes, let the heartaches, heartaches begin
I just can't help it, you bet that I just can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
And now that she's gone I can't hold back the tears
Anymore
