Art Of Heartbreak Songtext
von Daryl Hall & John Oates

Try to ignore the twisted side
We kiss and we hiss at the same time
Don′t you know some things just don't blow away?
You′ve been this way before
But the cuts just seem to hurt me more
Could be a reason for the difference

You've been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Ooh, practicing
The art of heartbreak

Anticipating what she's aching for
I′m being edgy, leaving her wanting more
Anyone might think we′d rather be alone
Yeah, she's been cut before
On sharp things I′ve been saying so long
I can't believe the way she takes it


I′ve been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Ooh, practicing
The art of heartbreak

I've been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Ooh, practicing
The art of heartbreak

Why do we make it hard?
Been hitting back and forth for so long
What are we aiming at? There′s no score in love
I bet a million bucks she knows
But won't let up on me, so
I've just decided to stop

Ooh, practicing
The art of heartbreak
We′ve been practicing
The art of heartbreak

The art of heartbreak
We′ve been practicing the art of heartbreak
Ooh, practicing the art of heartbreak
I've been practicing (heartbreak)


What are we aiming for? (The art of heartbreak)
Seems like that′s we're aiming for (heartbreak)
What are we aiming for? (The art of heartbreak)
We′ve been practicing, we're doing real good (heartbreak)

I heard you (the art of heartbreak)
Ooh, you heard me, too (heartbreak)
You take it good, girl (the art of heartbreak)
Oh, maybe better than me (heartbreak)

We′ve been practicing (the art of heartbreak)
We've been practicing (heartbreak)
