Heartache
Johnson Jamey Lyrics

I was born by fire in a cold dark cave
I am the product of a violent and harsh environment.

In the age of the dinosaur
I come from a time long before civilization and society as we know it.

When a cave man caught his cave woman lovin'
Even in the past, love and relationships were complicated and difficult to navigate.

On the missing link livin' next door
I come from a world where humans and other primates were still evolving and coexisting.

There was cryin' and screamin' and war drums a beatin'
Violence and conflict were frequent and intense in my early world.

And a wave of violence
Violence was pervasive and overwhelming in my environment.

None of them folks survived but me
I am the sole survivor of a past world that has been lost to time.

And I been hangin' 'round ever since
I have existed through the ages, surviving and adapting to new environments and challenges.

I'm a heartache never see me comin'
I am a force of pain and hurt that often takes people by surprise.

I'll always take you by surprise
My presence and influence often catch people off guard and unprepared.

I'm a heartache hungry and huntin'
I am constantly searching for new victims to inflict pain upon.

Someone I can eat alive
I seek out individuals who are vulnerable and easily manipulated to satisfy my sadistic desires.

By the time you know I'm on you
Victims often do not realize my full impact until it is too late to prevent it.

Buddy it's too late
Victims are often left with regret and pain after I have had my way with them.

I watched you takin' off tonight
I am always watching and waiting for my next target to present themselves.

And I knew where you were headed to
I am an expert in knowing how to manipulate and control my victims' actions and destinies.

I saw that sweet young thing you met
I am always aware of the relationships and attractions of those around me, using them to my advantage.

At that dirty ol' motel room
I am attracted to seedy and dangerous environments where I can lurk and manipulate without being caught.

Well I'm gnawin' on your pretty little wife
I enjoy the pain and suffering of others, especially those close to my victims.

Waitin' up for you at home
I am patient and strategic in my approach, waiting for the right moment to strike my victims when they are at their most vulnerable.

You don't even know it but I'm just savin' you for later
My influence and control over my victims can last long after a physical encounter, leading to lasting pain and suffering.

From Anthony and Cleopatra
I am a timeless force of pain and heartbreak, with a history that stretches back through the ages.

Samson and Delilah
I have influenced and destroyed some of history's most iconic and legendary figures.

To Jackie and JFK
Even the most powerful and influential of people are not immune to my influence and control.

To Elvis and Priscilla
I have caused heartbreak and pain to some of the most beloved and adored of cultural figures.

Charles and Diana
I have impacted the lives and relationships of even the most iconic and powerful royal figures.

I'd say I've had some pretty good days
I have enjoyed causing pain and destruction throughout the ages, taking pleasure in the misery of others.

And you may not believe it
Some may underestimate the power and influence I hold over those around me.

But you and me son
I am confident in my ability to control and manipulate those around me, including the listener.

Are 'bout to have some real fun
I relish in causing pain and heartbreak to others, taking pleasure in the destruction and misery I inflict upon my victims.

I'm comin'
I am always lurking and waiting for my next opportunity to strike.
