Before The Teardrops Start

When you're feeling wild and lonesome
And there's nothing you can do
You know you're missing some feelings
Way down deep inside of you

Cause you're craving for affection
And it's tearing you apart
Why don't you give your heart to somebody
Before the teardrops start

When you're feeling loose and crazy
Chasing tail out on the street
Sometimes it feels like a re-run
Getting worse with each repeat

Cause you're craving for affection
And it's tearing you apart
Why don't you give your heart to somebody
Before the teardrops start

Cause you're craving for affection
And it's tearing you apart
Why don't you give your heart to somebody
Before the teardrops start

When you're crawling along on empty
But you still don't want to stop
A fool will lose his money
And you're bound to run until you drop

Cause you're craving for affection
And it's tearing you apart
Why don't you give your heart to somebody
Before the teardrops start
