Oh, one more heartache, I can't take it My heart is carrying such a heavy load One more ache would break it Just like a camel with a heavy pack One last straw was added Said it broke the camel's back Aaah, aaah (aah, aah) I can't take it One more heartache It would turn me right around First you build my hopes up high And then let me down Like the house you built with toothpicks Stacked upon the kitchen table One more toothpick tore it down The foundation was not able Aaah, aaah (aah, aah) I can't stand it No, baby Oh, believe me One more heartache Is too much load I'm fed up with the heartache One more and I'll explode Like a toy balloon that's filled With as much air as it can take One more puff of air and that balloon has got to break Aaah, aaah (aah, aah) I can't stand it I can't take it Oh, baby Don't do it Oh, honey, ooh, baby
