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, won't you try
You'll swear that it ain't bad It cost a thousand tears
And 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 wear out your knees
But buddy, that's okay
The heartaches are free, oh no 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
Wear out your knees
But buddy, that's okay
The heartaches are free Yeah, I can guarantee
The heartaches are free
