In The Middle Of A Heartache
Wanda Jackson · Four Classic Albums [2012]
I'm in the middle of a heartache
Half out, half in
Not quite out of love with you
Not too much in love with him.
I'm in the middle of a heartache
Half way, half blue
Can't give all my love to him
When I'm still in love with you.
Just when I think that I've forgotten you
The mem'ry of your love grows dim
That old pain starts again of wanting you
More than I ever wanted him.
I'm in the middle of a heartache
Heart old, heart new
Can't give all my love to him
When I'm still in love with you.
--- Instrumental ---
Just when I think that, I've forgotten you
The mem'ry of your love grows dim
That old pain starts again of wanting you
More than I ever wanted him.
I'm in the middle of a heartache
Heart old, heart new
Can't give all my love to him
When I'm still in love with you. (In love with you...)
