I need to learn every little thing that I did not know about love
Before I go giving somebody my heart
That's gon' treat it like a walk-through rug
But I don't think there is any other way to learn
If you don't go through that
Because it's only gonna give you the strength for love
That keeps you from running back to
Heartbreak City
Where you'll find all the agony Heartbreak City
Where you won't believe in fantasies no more
The place where they run out of sympathy
Stop trying to do a good thing in the misery
Heartbreak City Oh, you'll be okay if you run away from Heartbreak City
My father told me not to play with them little three worlds
Said I'd type a * to the wrong damn person and I'm only gonna get on your nerves
But I don't think there is any other way to love if you don't go through that
Because it's only gonna give you the strength for love that keeps you from running back to
Heartbreak City
Where you'll find all the agony Heartbreak City
Where you won't believe in fantasy no more
The place where they run on a silver thing
It's been a good thing in the misery of a brick city
Oh, you little girl, you're going away from my brain
Mama told me to learn every little thing that I did not know about love
Before I go giving somebody my heart,
that's gon' treat it like a world tour vlog
But I don't think there is any other way to learn if you don't go through that
Because it's only gonna give you the strength for love that keeps you from running back to
Heartbreak City
Where you'll find all the agony Heartbreak City
Where you won't believe in fantasies no more
The place where they run out of sympathy
Turn a good thing into misery Heartbreak City
Oh, it'll be okay if you run away from Heartbreak City
My father told me not to play with them little three words
Say that type of * to the wrong damn person and they're only gonna get on your nerves
But I don't think there is any other way to learn if you don't go through that
Because it's only gonna give you the strength for love that keeps you from running back to
Heartbreak City
Where you'll find all the agony Heartbreak City
Where you won't believe in fantasies no more
The place where they run out of sympathy
Don't tell a good thing in the middle of the night Heartbreak City
Oh, Heartbreak City
Where you'll find all the agony of a brick city
Where you won't believe in fantasies no more
The place where they run on a simple day
Like it's not a good thing in the misery of a brick city
No, it'll be okay if you run away from a brick city
My father told me not to play with those little three words
Say the type of * to the wrong damn person
And you're only gonna kill your nerves
But I don't think there is any other way to love
If you don't go through that
Because it's only gonna give you the strength for love
That keeps you from running back to
You won't.
