Lyrics
She grew up in a small town
The only child in her family
She got everything she ever wanted
She knows just what she wants to be
They say her daddy never spanked her
They say her mom?s been gone for years
Sometimes they call her the ice queen
?Cuz she won?t let you see her tears
They say she?s just a heartache waiting to happen
She?s just a smile on a pretty face
Don?t be fooled by her flowers and her lace
She?s just a heartache waiting to happen
She never lets anyone get to know her
She won?t let them get too close
Everyone says she?s got some money
Because she always wears the nicest clothes
They say, ?God bless the young man
Who ever tries to get close to her.
Even if she tells him how she feels
How could he ever be sure??
They say she?s just a heartache waiting to happen
She?s just a smile on a pretty face
Don?t be fooled by her flowers and her lace
She?s just a heartache waiting to happen
Instrumental break (8 bars)
Sometimes she sits for hours rocking
To try and get herself to go to sleep
Everyone thinks she is the ice queen
But she feels like she?s in too deep
She?s got some of her father?s whiskey
And a bottle of sleeping pills by the bed
She wonders what they?ll say about her
When they wake up and find her dead
They say she?s just a heartache waiting to happen
She?s just a smile on a pretty face
Don?t be fooled by her flowers and her lace
She?s just a heartache waiting to happen
Instrumental break (4bars)
