When you got a headache, a headache powder soothes the pain 
When you try to rest, Lord, you feel alright again 
When you got a backache, a little rubbing will see you through 
But when you got a heartache, there ain't nothing you can do 
A man can't break a stone, so he tries another lick 
An ice man can't cut his ice, so he buys another pick 
Electric lights go out but a candle light will see you through 
But when you got a heartache, there ain't nothing you can do 
There ain't nothing you can do 
I say there ain't nothing you can do 
When you got a heartache, there ain't nothing you can do 
When you meet a friend, you smile because you're glad 
When a friend deceives you, it makes you feel so bad 
When you lose your loved one, it make you feel so blue 
And then you got a heartache, and there ain't nothing you can do 
I said there ain't nothing you can do 
Every time, I think about it 
Every time, I think about it 
There ain't nothing you can do
