Guy Clark
Hell Bent On A Heartache
[Verse 1]
Ain't love funny?
Ain't love strange?
I say love is a dangerous game
Shows no mercy
It has no rules
It's all the same for the kings and fools

[Chorus]
And I'm hell bent on a heartache
I should know better, but I guess I don't
I keep on learning the hard way
Every time I turn around, I make the same mistake
'Cause I'm hell bent on a heartache
Hell bent on a heartache

[Verse 2]
Seems I'm always getting burned
Just you wait until the table is turned
Love's a gamble, love's a curse
Love's a bitch, but it could be worse

[Chorus]
And I'm hell bent on a heartache
I should know better, but I guess I don't
I keep on learning the hard way
Every time I turn around, I make the same mistake
Yes, I'm hell bent on a heartache
Hell bent on a heartache
[Bridge]
Don't get me wrong
I believe in love
Sometimes that's just not enough

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm hell bent on a heartache
I should know better, but I guess I don't
I keep on learning the hard way
Every time I turn around, I make the same mistake
Oh, I'm hell bent on a heartache
Hell bent on a heartache
