Buddy, you might think
That I’ve lost my mind
But mister, I’d pay twice
To do it one more time.
It cost a thousand tears
And wore out my knees
But buddy, that’s okay
The heartaches are free.
You probably thought I’d used
Up every brain I had
But mister, once you’ve tried
You’ll swear that it ain’t bad.
It cost a thousand tears
And’ll wear out your knees
But buddy, that’s okay
The heartaches are free.
Hey man, if she takes a notion
To sell you a hit of potion
Waste no time
And boss, if you need a reason
To pay for all her teasin’
Well, just take mine.
It cost a thousand tears
And’ll wear out your knees
But buddy, that’s okay
The heartaches are free.

Yeah, I can guarantee
The heartaches are free…
