Nothing but a Heartache Lyrics

Nothing but a heartache every day
(Nothing but a heartache)
Nothing but a teardrop all of the way
(Nothing but a teardrop)
Loving a bad guy is such a sin, yeah
He's got me all won
Can I get him?

Nothing but a heartache every day yeah
(Nothing but a heartache)
Nothing but a teardrop all of the way
(Nothing but a teardrop)
It is one situation that I just can't win, yeah
He's got me all won
Can I get him?

I got a lot of those heartaches
I got a lot of those teardrops
Heartaches, teardrops, all of the way
Nothing but a heartache every day

Nothing but a heartache every day
(Nothing but a heartache)
Nothing but a teardrop all of the way
(Nothing but a teardrop)
Him loving me is just too slim, yeah
He's got me all won
Can I get him?
I got a lot of those heartaches
I got a lot of those teardrops
Heartaches, teardrops, all of the way
Nothing but a heartache every day

Nothing but a heartache every day
(Nothing but a heartache)
Nothing but a teardrop all of the way
(Nothing but a teardrop)
Him loving me is just too slim, yeah
He's got me all won
Can I get him?

Nothing but a heartache every day yeah
(Nothing but a heartache)
Nothing but a teardrop all of the way
(Nothing but a teardrop)
Heartache, ooh, I get 'em every, every day
(Nothing but a heartache)

Tears pouring all down my face
(Nothing but a teardrop)
Ooh, the man has got me, so uptight
(Nothing but a teardrop)
Nothin' I do, seem to

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
