One more heartache, I can't take it
|
My heart is carryin' such a heavy load
|
One more ache would break it
|
Just like the camel with the heavy back
|
One last straw was added, they say it broke the camel's back
|
|
Ah (ah) ah (ah)
|
I can't take it, I can't stand it
|
|
One more heartache, it would turn me right around
|
First you build my hopes up high and then you let me down
|
Like the house you built from toothpicks stacked upon the kitchen table
|
One last toothpick tore it down; the foundation was not able
|
|
Ah (ah) ah (ah)
|
I can't take it, I can't stand it
|
No no no baby
|
|
Oh baby, one more heartache would be too much load
|
I'm fed up with the heartaches; one more and I will explode
|
Like the toy balloon that's filled with as much air as it can take
|
One more puff of air and that balloon has got to burst
|
|
Ah (ah) ah (ah)
|
I can't take it, I can't stand it
|
No, honey, not another
|
[...and fade]
