  • I can hear the guitars start to play
    And very soon they say
    I was a fool to turn my love away
    And with each glass of wine I feel a glow
    And very soon I know
    I was a fool to let my baby go

    So let the heartaches begin
    I can't help it, I can't win
    I've lost that girl for sure
    Tears won't help anymore
    Yes let the heartaches begin
    I can't help it, I can't win
    I've lost that girl for sure
    Now she's gone
    I can't hold back the tears anymore

    I can see the couples dancin' through the night
    They hold each other tight
    As they dance of love till the morning light
    The soft embraces that they seem to share
    Just make me feel aware
    Of the lonliness I find so hard to bear

    So let the heartaches begin
    I can't help it, I can't win
    I've lost that girl for sure
    My tears won't help anymore
    Yes let the heartaches, heartaches begin
    I just can't help it,you know that I just can't win
    I've lost that girl for sure
    And now that she's gone
    I can't hold back the tears anymore Writer/s: JOHN ANDREW MACLEOD, TONY MACAULAY

  • Tim from Schaumburg, IlLong John is alive and well, living in england
  • Roman from Barrie, OnI saw Long John at a club and his presence on stage was as overwhelming as his singing and performing. Within a matter of four easy steps he could move from the very back of the stage to the very front making Michael Jackson's
    "moonwalk" look like baby steps. In respect to saving Elton John,the buzz forty odd years ago was that he convinced Elton not to gas himself into eternity via a gas oven.
