Guy Clark
Hell Bent on a Heartache
[Verse 1]
Ain't love funny?
Ain't love strange?
I say love is a dangerous game
Shows no mercy
Has no rules
It's all the same for the kings and fool
[Chorus]
And I'm hellbent on a heartache
I should know better but I guess I don't
I keep on learning the hard way
Every time I turn around I make the same mistake
'Cause I'm hellbent on a heartache
Hellbent on a heartache
[Verse 2]
Seems I'm always gettin' burned
Just you wait until the tables turn
Love's a gamble, love's a curse
Love's a bitch but it could be worse
[Chorus]
And I'm hellbent on a heartache
I should know better but I guess I don't
I keep on learning the hard way
Every time I turn around I make the same mistake
'Cause I'm hellbent on a heartache
Hellbent on a heartache
[Bridge]
Don't get me wrong, I believe in love
Sometimes love's just not enough
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm hellbent on a heartache
I should know better but I guess I don't
I keep on learning the hard way
Every time I turn around I make the same mistake
'Cause I'm hellbent on a heartache
Hellbent on a heartache
I'm hellbent on a heartache
Hellbent on a heartache
