Lyrics

NOT TONIGHT (I'VE GOT A HEARTACHE)


VERSE
Sometimes the pieces seem to fall in place
Sometimes some places I just fall to pieces
Seems like tonight I'm in the cold embrace
Of this old memory that just never releases
And look at you well you're all sparkling bright !
Your smile tells me it's my lucky night
Nice to know your love is mine to take
But not tonight I've got a heartache


CHORUS
Not tonight I've got a heartache
Got these old memories I can't seeem to shake
I can?t be acting like a man in love
Not when she's the one I'm thinking of
You don't need a love that's really fake
You should go on home for all our sake
Making love would just be making a mistake
Not tonight I've got a heartache


VERSE
Just when I think I'm getting over her
When I think I'll be okay
That's when these teardrops make my vision blur
And I can't see to find my way
You're looking to me but I can't be found
This flood of feeling's about to make me drown
Down at the bottom of the hopeless lake
Not tonight I've got a heartache


CHORUS
Not tonight I've got a heartache
Got these old memories I can't seeem to shake
I can't be acting like a man in love
Not when she's the one I'm thinking of
You don't need a love that's really fake
You should go on home for all our sake
Making love would just be making a mistake
Not tonight I've got a heartache
