i know a heartache when i see one

look at who the wind's blowin' up my road

shining like the northern star

actin' like the answer to all my prayers

dearie i know what you really are

so don't you knock on my door

i won't be home anymore

you can find me out walkin' in the sun

oh you hide it so well

it isn't easy to tell

i know a heartache when i see one

there was a time i was a true believer

your love was the only way

well you can save all your sweet talkin' for some other fool

only a fool would believe what you say

so don't you knock on my door

i won't be home anymore

you can find me out walkin' in the sun

oh you hide it so well

it isn't easy to tell

i know a heartache when i see one

oh time is the teacher it's taught me well

the loser is the one who cries

and when you've cried like a baby and you've felt like hell

you know the devil by the look in his eyes

so don't you knock on my door

i won't be home anymore

you can find me out walkin' in the sun

oh you hide it so well

it isn't easy to tell

i know a heartache when i see one

don't you knock on my door

i won't be home anymore

you can find me out walkin' in the sun

oh you hide it so well

it isn't easy to tell

but i know a heartache when i see one

i know a heartache when i see one
