I was born by fire in a cold dark cave In the age of the dinosaur When a cave man caught his cave woman lovin' On the missing link livin' next door There was cryin' and screamin' and war drums a beatin' And a wave o' violence None o' them folks survived but me And I been hangin' 'round ever since 'cause I'm a heartache never see me comin' I'll always take you by surprise I'm a heartache hungry and huntin' Someone I can eat alive By the time you know I'm on you Buddy it's too late I'm a heartache (heartache) I watched you takin' off tonight And I knew where you were headed to I saw that sweet young thing you met At that dirty ol' motel room 'ell I'm gnawin' on your pretty little wife Waitin' up for you at home You don't even know it but I'm just savin' you for later When I can getcha all alone Yeah, I'm a heartache never see me comin' I'll always take you by surprise I'm a heartache hungry and huntin' Someone I can eat alive By the time you know I'm on you Buddy it's too late I'm a heartache (heartache) From Anthony and Cleopatra Samson and Delilah To Jackie and JFK To Elvis and Prescilla Charles and Diana I'd say I've had some pretty good days And you may not believe it But you and me son Are 'bout to have some real fun 'cause I'm comin'...ah I'm comin' I'm a heartache never see me comin' I'll always take you by surprise I'm a heartache hungry and huntin' Someone I can eat alive By the time you know I'm on you Buddy it's too late I'm a heartache (heartache) I'm a heartache (heartache) I'm a heartache (heartache)
