Broken Hearted Lover

100%

How can I be feeling happy
When you don't love me anymore
Take all your love and take your kisses
For you've made my heart so sore

I'd rather swim across the ocean
Without the help of God or man
Than be a broken-hearted lover
When I have done the best I can

Thought I was falling for an angel
When I first looked into your eyes
Now I have found out all about you
I know your home's not in the sky

Stop, look, and listen for a whistle
And when you hear that lonesome moan
You'll know by the whistle of that freight train
Your broken hearted lover's gone
