Hell Bent On a Heartache - Guy Clark

Ain’t love funny?

Ain’t love strange?

I say love is a dangerous game

Shows no mercy

It has no rules

It’s all the same for the kings and fools

And I’m hell bent 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 hell bent on a heartache

Hell bent on a heartache

Seems I’m always getting burned

Just you wait until the table is turned

Love’s a gamble

Love’s a curse

Love’s a bitch

But it could be worse

Cause I’m hell bent 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 hell bent on a heartache

Hell bent on a heartache

Don’t get me wrong

I believe in love

Sometimes that’s just not enough

Cause I’m hell bent 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

Ooh I’m hell bent on a heartache

Hell bent on a heartache
