If you guessed It’s a Heartache by Bonnie Tyler, you are correct!
Today’s Bill Campbell What’s That Song written by Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, has been covered by a number of artists. However, today we featured Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler’s version recorded in 1978. Bonnie’s rendition of It’s a Heartache climbed the charts, reaching #3 in the United States and #4 in the U.K. Bonnie released another version, along with Kareen Antonn, in 2004.
Did you know…
It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down
It’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It ain’t right with love to share
When you find he doesn’t care for you
It ain’t wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down
It’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It ain’t right with love to share
When you find he doesn’t care for you
It ain’t wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Oh, it’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It’s a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It’s a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It’s a fools game
