"THERE AUGHTA BE A LAW" CHORUS: There aughta be a law Against breakin’ a heart It aughta be some kinda crime For leavin’ your lover cryin’ There aughta be a way to make’em pay For the shattered parts There aughta be a law Against breakin’ a heart You know they’re always goin’ out Without their ring on And they always coax you in With premeditated charm They tell you ev’ry thing you want to hear They con your love without a conscience They spark your heart until it’s fanned with flames Then steel away just like an arson (REPEAT CHORUS) But they always have those eyes And that tall dark handsome stare And you always let them in ‘Cause you want some one to care They crack your heart just like a banker’s safe Steelin’ all the love you’ve saved Leave you with nothing’ but their fingerprints Then ride away like Jesse James MODIFIED CHORUS / BRIDGE: There aughta be a law Against breakin’ a heart It aughta be some kinda crime… For lookin’ straight into your eyes And tellin’ you a pack of lies And actin’ like its love when it’s not (REPEAT CHORUS) (REPEAT CHORUS) (REPEAT CHORUS)
