"Broken Heart Attack" lyrics

Broken Heart Attack

I seen your clothes were missing
When I looked into the closet
I saw the goodbye note you left me
On the kitchen faucet
The family car was missing
And the furniture was gone
You didn't even leave a towel
For me to do my crying on

After losing you this way
I'll never be the same
You left me with a broken heart
And crying with the pain

Of a broken heart attack
A broken heart attack
An emotional thrombosis
In my coronary sac
The pain got in my veins
And made the capillaries crack
Causing traumatic fibrillations
In the respiratory sac
There ain't no doubt about it, gal
My train done jumped the track
Losing you done made me
Have a broken heart attack

Oh the pain
Oh it's intense

Well, I went screaming to my family doctor
Clutching to my chest
Said the pain inside's intense, doc
What do you suggest
Well, son, let's have an examination
Take your shirt off
He put his stethoscope up to my chest
Said, let me hear your cough

Well, upon examination, boy
All I can say to you
It's my professional opinion
Ain't nothing I can do

You've had a broken heart attack
A broken heart attack
An emotional thrombosis
In your coronary sac
The pain got in your veins
And made the capillaries crack
Causing traumatic fibrillations
In your respiratory sac
There ain't no doubt about it, boy
Your train done leaped the track
That woman left
And you done had a broken heart attack

Oh the pain
Oh it's intense friend
