HEARTACHES HAVE JUST STARTED
(Buck Owens / Don Rich)


Buck Owens - 1967
Susan Raye - 1970





Like a baby goes for candy
That's the way I went for you
It's a wonder I'm still livin'
After all you've put me through
It would take a modern miracle 
To make things turn out right
For loneliness is here 
And happiness is out of sight

Oh, the heartaches have just started 
And the worst is yet to come
The tears have started fallin'
We've got true love on the run
Up to now you've had me hangin'
But now you've run out of rope
And when you see the back door swingin'
You'll know I've run out of hope

(Instrumental Break)

I've done everything I could 
To save this love affair of ours
I brought you home and loved you
Wined and dined you by the hours
Fed you caviar and champagne
That's the best that I could do
But the best I had to offer 
Wasn't good enough for you

Oh, the heartaches have just started 
And the worst is yet to come
The tears have started fallin'
We've got true love on the run
Up to now you've had me hangin'
But now you've run out of rope
And when you see the back door swingin'
You'll know I've run out of hope
When you see the back door swingin'
You'll know I've run out of hope
