Baby, baby, baby, baby... 
Daddy drunk, daddy drunk himself to death 
When he was thirty-five years old 
Left five daughters 
An' book 'em on the Cayman row 
Put 'em down an' left an' he left all pain to me 
An' a pullin' outta Dallas 
An' the dirt back in Tennessee 

So I called big sister on the telephone 
I said how y'all down there in 'ere call t'home 
Girl you won't starve for fortune and fame 
To earn big money in Dallas and make her name 

Lonely hearts 
They're just made to break 
There ain't no spare parts 
Ain't no oil to change 

Honey, I ain't accustomed to lose 
If I want somethin' bad 
I always find a way to get thru 
I tell ya somethin' 
I ain't accustomed t'lose 
If I want somethin' bad enough 
I always find a way to get thru 

Lonely hearts 
They're just made to break 
There ain't no spare parts 
Ain't no oil to change 

I could be there Thanksgiving afternoon 
With a turkey in m'hand 
And ah oughta buy a bottle o' boo'... 
I took a short cut about a quarter down 
The turnpike road 
And I'll fill 'er up with gas 
Ah'm a fill 'er 'bout San Antone 
An' I'll make it t'Dallas 
'Bout a quarter pa'...half past three 
Just another 30 miles 
On the road back to 443 

You know, lonely hearts 
They're just made to break 
There ain't no spare parts 
There ain't no oil to change 

I tell ya 
I ain't accustomed to lose 
If I want somethin' bad enough 
I always find a way to get it, baby 
Including you 
I tell ya something 
I ain't ever gonna lose 
If I want somethin' bad enough 
I always find a way to get it, baby 
Including you 

I could be there Thanksgiving afternoon 
If I start off now 
Put my foot down the floor, damn too 

I spoke to big sister on the telephone 
She said come on big brother 
Why don't you come on back home 

I said, lonely hearts 
They're just made to break 
There ain't no spare parts 
Ain't no oil to change 

I tell ya, honey 
I ain't accustomed to lose 
If I want somethin' bad enough 
I always find a way to get it, mmm 
Talkin' 'bout you 

If I want somethin' bad enough 
I always find a way to get it, don't I? 
If I want somethin' bad enough 
I always find a way to get it don't I? 
If I want somethin' strong enough 
I always find a way to get it 

Baby! Shoo-gahh! 
Ahhhh, yah, yah, yah... 

Tell ya somethin', babe 
I ain't accustomed to lose 
If I want somethin' bad enough 
I always find a way to get it 
If I want somethin' bad enough 
I always find a way to get it 

Lonely hearts 
They're just made to break 
There ain't no spare parts 
There ain't no oil to change 

Lonely hearts 
They're just made to break 
Ain't no spare parts 
There ain't no oil to change 

Now, I'm, I'm a-comin' back 
Comin' back a'home Thursday afternoon 
If I don't tumble down hard 
Really like a way to get thru
