I used to play around with hearts that hastened at my call, But when I met that little girl I knew that I would fall.
Poor little fool, oh yeah, I was a fool, uh huh.. She played around and teased me with her carefree devil eyes, She'd hold me close and kiss me but her heart was full of lies.
She told me how she cared for me and that we'd never part, And so for the very first time I gave away my heart.
The next day she was gone and I knew she'd lied to me, She left me with a broken heart and won her victory.
I'd played this game with other hearts but I never thought I'd see, The day that someone else would play love's foolish game with me.
There's a place where lovers go To cry their troubles away And they call it Lonesome Town Where the broken heart stays
You can buy a dream or two To last you all through the years And the only price you pay Is a heart full of tears
Going down to Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay Going down to Lonesome Town To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams The streets are filled with regret Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget
You passed me by one sunny day Flashed those big brown eyes my way And oo I wanted you forever more Now I'm not one that gets around I swear my feet stuck to the ground And though I never did meet you before: I said "Hello Mary Lou Goodbye heart Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou We'd never part So Hello Mary Lou Goodbye heart" I saw your lips I heard your voice believe me I just had no choice Wild horses couldn't make me stay away I thought about a moonlit night My arms about good an' tight That's all I had to see for me to say

Young emotions are mixed emotions For it's a world where love and confusion reign A world of hope and laughter and tears and pain At times a gentle breeze in a hurricane A world full of doubt but love works it out Young emotions are strange emotions For though we're brave, sometimes we are so afraid But knowing there are memories to be made We'll face each new tomorrow, dear, undismayed For our love will keep us together And our love will help us to weather These young emotions For though we're brave, sometimes we are so afraid But knowing there are memories to be made We'll face each new tomorrow, dear, undismayed For our love will keep us together And our love will help us to weather These young emotions
