Carlene Carter - Heart's In Traction lyrics

HEART'S IN TRACTION

(Carlene Carter - James Eller)

You don't wanna be the guy

To watch a grown girl cry

So you just leave me be

I'd rather cry alone

Than see you leavin' me

You just had to be the one

That had to slip away

Now that's the way it feels

When you feel this way

Nothing I could say to make you stay

They say I'm overacting

It's physical reaction

I'm hangin' on a heartache

Just another bad break

I'll make it with some luck

But I'll be laid up for months

My heart's in traction

My heart's in traction

I don't wanna hear the words

You've said 'em all before

Now you're a well known fact

From the back of your hand

To the slamming of the door

Now I'd rather be alone

With just the memory of you

So leave me alone

I'd rather be a lonely fool

Than a fool for you

My heart's in traction

It's a physical reaction

I'm hangin' on a heartache

Just another bad break

I'll make it with some luck

But I'll be laid up for months

My heart's in traction

My heart's in traction
