If heartaches brought fame

In love's crazy game,

I'd be a legend in my time.

If they gave gold statuettes

For tears and regret,

I'd be a legend in my time.

But they don't give awards

And there's no praise or fame

For hearts that are broken,

For love that's in vain.

If loneliness meant world acclaim,

Ev'ryone would know my name.

I'd be a legend in my time.

If heartaches brought fame

In love's crazy game,

I'd be a legend in my time.

If they gave gold statuettes

For tears and regret,

I'd be a legend in my time.

But they don't give awards

And there's no praise or fame

For hearts that are broken,

For love that's in vain.

If loneliness meant world acclaim,

Ev'ryone would know my name.

I'd be a legend in my time.
