Marvin Gaye One More Heartache song lyrics

One more heartache, I can't take it

My heart is carryin' such a heavy load

One more ache would break it

Just like the camel with the heavy pack

One last straw was added, they say it broke the camel's back

I, I

I can't take it, I can't stand it

One more heartache, it would turn me right around

First you build my hopes up high and then you let me down

Like the house you built from toothpicks stacked upon the kitchen table

One last toothpick tore it down; the foundation was not able

I, I

I can't stand it, and I can't take it

No no no baby

Oh baby, one more heartache would just be too much load

I'm fed up with the heartaches; one more and I will explode

Like the toy balloon that's filled with as much air as it can take

One more puff of air and that balloon has got to break

I, I

I can't take it, I can't stand it

No, honey, not another

...And fade
