Good Morning Heartache

Frank Mantooth · Other Songs - Frank Mantooth

Good morning heartache, you old gloomy sight

Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night

I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone

But here you are with the dawn



Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay

It seems I met you when my love went away

Now everyday I start by saying to you

Good morning heartache, what's new



Stop haunting me now

Can't chase you no how

Just leave me alone

I've got those Monday blues

Straight through Sunday blues



Good morning heartache, here we go again

Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when

Might as well get used to you hanging around

Good morning heartache, sit down



Stop haunting me now

Can't chase you no how

Just leave me alone

I've got those Monday blues

Straight through Sunday blues



Good morning heartache, here we go again

Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when

Might as well get used to you hanging around

Good morning heartache, sit down
