Lyrics;

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he let's you down
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Oh, it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
Oh, it's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
You love him 'til your arms break
Then he let's you down
It's a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain
Feelin' like a clown
It's a heartache
Love him 'til your arms break
Then he let's you down
It's a fool's game

One night, many moons ago on a balmy July night (being the music loving teenager that I was) sitting in the family station wagon listening to music and this song came on, one of my favorites at the time. Then out comes my dad from the house. I just knew he was gonna tell me to turn off the music and for me to get my butt in the house. To my surprise, he sat in the passenger seat and said "Turn it up!" I was kinda shocked because he hated my music lol. That was over 40 years ago and he is no longer here but I will never forget sharing that special moment in time with my dad.

Beautiful song Beautiful woman Bonnie Tyler

[lesliegoldman]

Why can't they make music like this anymore? Who's listening in 2024

[cape]

Women of the 70s qnd 80s were attractive and stylish, elegant, coming from a guy who is 32. I love Olivia, bonnie, abba, carpenters... all Amazing!

[zanitzeuken]

She's really been there. She knows what it's like. The sincerity of her perfomance is stabbing to the core.

[jmrodas]

Not only her voice is very good, but the gestures she makes when singing the song, are very appropriate really. Bonnie Tyler is a great performer.

[nokiajacque]

Many thanks to the one who wrote this song. It tells how hurt he/she had been. And Bonnie is the best one to spread it out.

[morphon]

In an interview just after this was released, the interviewer called her the female Rod Stewart. She responded immediately, with a smile, saying Rod Stewart was the male Bonnie Tyler.

[arnelpluma]

The golden era of music. From the lyrics, beat of the song, vocals everything exudes art. The song is not just music; it is a masterpiece.

Gone are the days that music can be written and produced without the need to sexualized it's lyrics. Gone are the days where music dignifies humanity; music nowadays degrades humanity.

The older you get the more you appreciate such quality music.

[nikzarpz]

It's 2021 and I'm still loving this ❤️

[jamesbuchan]

I was in the Navy living in Scotland when I first heard this song in a scottish pub. It made me realize how so many people get their hearts broken during the course of a lifetime, yet we all can get through it by understanding it's a part of life. Great music like this helps you understand that.

[lorenzonotarianni]

I'm 58. Lost for words for how fast my youth came and went. Looking for some answers and respite in the music from way back when. Lorenzo from Italia

[charleskerr]

Great song, by a great musical artist, with a great voice. Amazing "sound" that reverberates throughout your soul. The sound of her voice gives me shivers.
