Tore out her page from my little black book

Took out her picture, gave it one last look

Hung a big sign out on the door

Saying "Love don't live around here no more"



Packed up what was left of my pride

Topped up the tank for the long hard ride

Seventeen miles out of Loneliville

Yonder came my darlin' in a "Coupe de Ville"



So long heartache - adios

Sorrow see ya later time to hit the road

Goodbye pain and misery

Hello L-O-V-E



Well I spun around then I hit the gas

Hot on the tail of that Cadillac

Said a little prayer, held my breath

Sure enough the green light turned to red



So long heartache - adios

Sorrow see ya later time to hit the road

Goodbye pain and misery

Hello L-O-V-E



She looked at me - I looked at her

A few days later in a little brown church

Made a sweet deal with the justice of the peace

Forty-five dollars for a license and a ring

(Forty-five dollars for a license and a ring)



So long heartache - adios

Sorrow see ya later time to hit the road

Goodbye pain and misery

Hello L-O

Hello L-O

Hello L-O-V-E
