David Johansen - Pain in My Heart lyrics

Well I keep tryin tryin tryin but
I just can't never win
When I come lookin for sin
I always wind up disciplined

I shoulda listened
I shoulda took my friends advice
I shouldn't have come back
To try and melt that heart as cold as ice

And I know cause, It's a pain in my heart
And it hurts like someone 's torn it apart
And what's worse
I felt it right from the start and I know
Thats just no way to live
Cause, I have tried tried tried but
I just can't never win
And it's enough to make you
Start to believe in retribution
I shouldn't be here
I could be in there having a blast
I shouldn't have come back
To try and liven up this dying romance

And I know i shouldn't talk so loud
And I know i shouldn't act so proud
And I know i shouldn't wonder how to know
That that's no way to live

Well I know cause it's a pain in my heart
And it hurts like someone's torn it apart
And what's worse
I felt it right from the start and I know
I just can't never win

I said so come on boys i'll buy you a drink
Come on boys don't let me think
Come on boys i'm starting to sink
And I know i can't go back again

Well I know cause, It's a pain in my heart
And it hurts like someone's torn it apart
And what's worse
I felt it right from the start and I know
Thats just no way to live
