Mama told me to learn every little thing
That I did not know about love
Before I go giving somebody my heart
That's gonna 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 going to give you the strength would 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
Ohh you'll be OK if you run away from heartbreak city
My father told me not to play with those little three words
Say that type of shit to the wrong damn person
And they're only going to 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 going to give you the strength would 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
