Lyrics

Not Tonight, I?ve Got a Heartache

Sometimes I come down to this bar
When I don?t even have a date
Have a beer with my best girlfriend
Sing karaoke til it?s way too late
Sometimes I love it when the boys
Strut around and make some noise
Pull me out onto the dance floor
Make me two-step til my feet are sore

But not tonight, I?ve got a heartache
Just want to sit here by myself
Don?t want to hear those tired lines dear
Go try them out on someone else
Some other night I just might be
A chance that?s worth your while to take
But I?ll just give my head a shake and say:
Not tonight, I?ve got a heartache

Another night that isn?t this one
I might be glad to kiss someone
And if he walked me to my door
I might be up for a whole lot more
Another place, another time
If all our stars should fall in line
There?s lots of good love we could make
But not tonight, I?ve got a heartache

But not tonight, I?ve got a heartache
Just want to sit here by myself
Don?t want to hear those tired lines dear
Go try them out on someone else
Some other night I just might be
A chance that?s worth your while to take
But I?ll just give my head a shake and say:
Not tonight, I?ve got a heartache

Someday I?d like to know that new
Doesn?t always prove untrue

But not tonight, I?ve got a heartache
Just want to sit here by myself
Don?t want to hear those tired lines dear
Go try them out on someone else
Some other night I just might be
A chance that?s worth your while to take
But I?ll just give my head a shake and say:
Not tonight, I?ve got a heartache
