Lyrics
One more heartache, I can't take it
My heart is carrying such a heavy load
One more ache would break it
Just like the camel with the heavy pack
One last straw was added, they say it broke the camel's back
Ah, ah
I can't take it, I can't stand it
One more heartache, it would turn me right around
First you build my hopes up high and then you let me down
Like the house you built from toothpicks
Stacked upon the kitchen table
One last toothpick tore it down, the foundation was not able
Ah, ah
I can't take it and I can't take it
Oh no, no, baby
Oh baby, one more heartache would just be too much load
I'm fed up with the heartaches, one more and I'll explode
Like the toy balloon that's filled
With as much air as it can take
One more puff of air and that balloon has got to burst
Ah, ah
I can't take it, I can't stand it
No honey
And I don't know, and I don't know
Oh baby, can't take another one
