"Heartache"

I was born by a fire in a cold, dark cave
In the age of the dinosaur
When the caveman caught his cavewoman
Lovin’ on the missing link living next door
There was cryin’ and screamin’ and war drums beatin’
And a wave of violence
None of 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’
For someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I’m on you buddy, it’s too late...
I’m a heartache.

I watched you takin’ off tonight,
And I knew where you were headed to.
I saw last week, young thing you met,
At that dirty old motel room.

Yea, well, I’m gnawing on you’re pretty little wife,
Waitin’ up for you at home.
You don’t even know it, but I’m just saving you for later,
When I can get you all alone.

Hey, I’m a heartache, never see me comin’
I’ll always take you by surprise
I’m a heartache, hungry and huntin’
For someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I’m on you buddy, it’s too late...
I’m a heartache.

From Anthony and Cleopatra,
Samson and his Lava,
To Jackie and JFK,
To Elvis and Priscilla,
Charles and Diana,
I’d say I’ve had some pretty good days.
You may not believe it, but you and me son,
We’re about to have some real fun…
Cause I’m comin’…
Oh, I’m comin’

‘Cause I’m a heartache, never see me comin’
I’ll always take you by surprise
I’m a heartache, hungry and huntin’
For someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I’m on you buddy, it’s too late...
I’m a heartache…
I’m a heartache…
I’m a heartache…
