Lyrics

Blinded by her beauty I vowed to give her anything

But I should have seen trouble coming when she picked out that big ole ring

Late nights working double shifts to make payments on the loan

When she cut me loose without excuse and went and pawned the stone

Now I got a 24 carat heartache
All the tears are genuine
Custom made for me with a guarantee

To last a fool's lifetime
I'm having sterling sliver sleepless nights
About my crystal clear mistake

Oh help me lord you know I can't afford
This 24 carat heartache

She needed glitz and glitter while I needed someone to hold

I was so in love with her, she was digging for gold

My paychecks spent on silver trays & crystal chandeliers

Then she packed it all in a big U-haul and left me in tears

REPEAT CHORUS

So I just keep on working trying to pay the debt
But the bills just keep on coming and makes it hard to forget

REPEAT CHORUS

Please help me Lord you know I can't afford
This 24 carat heartache
