The endless emptiness,

I go through.

And when you lose,
A little sleep at night,

'Cos you ain't been,
Treated right.

Heartaches are sad.

Sitting by the telephone,

Being left all alone,

F
And when you're just,
About to go insane,

'Cos it hurts,
To love in vain.
Ask a guy who's,
E A7
Been in love.

I believed,
Your evil line,
C
Now I'm left,
Alone and crying
Dm
Alone to count,
C Bb G
The stars above.

Why don't you try it?

Come on and try it, baby,

Baby try it.
