about

Think of that "office romance" that never quite materialized or that "mutual attraction" that went unrevealed until it was too late.

lyrics

Somebody’s Headed for a Heartache. Words and music by Darrell E. Rodgers, Jr.

(intro)
You and I’ve been friends for such a long, long while
Gonna seem strange my friend not to see your smile
Or hear your laughter as you’re callin’ out my name,
Things ‘round here won’t ever be the same.

Before you go there’s something I must say
about a feeling growin’ stronger every day
Though we know it’s time for you to make your break,
Soon you’ll realize good-byes are hard to take

(chorus)
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
Oh it’s plain to see
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
Now don’t blame me

(verse)
‘Cause I told ya not to fall in love with me
A love like ours I said was never meant to be
Still here we are on the eve of our good-bye
And it’s apparent, someone’s about to cry

~repeat chorus~

(verse)
You and I had always trued to keep things light
Never let our days get mixed up with our night
But I can tell now by that look in your eye
You might be wond’rin’ why


~repeat chorus~

(Instumental break)

(verse)
Tomorrow as you head out on the road alone
Find yourself reachin’ out to dial a telephone
Just to share the moment with the one who cheered you on
Tears fill your eyes, you realize, a chance for love is gone

~repeat chorus~

(finale)
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
Somebody’s headed for a heartache
And Lord, it looks like,,,, me.
