Hometown sweetheart
Hung around in the dark
Only make a move or two
I was just a young fool
Never been to night school
Didn't know enough to be cool

So he found another lover
They went undercover
The way he stole my love was a crime
In order to keep the peace
Callin' out the police
Find him 'for I lose my mind

The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio

A complete investigation
What's his destination
Did he leave a trace at all
Book him on suspicion
Just look at my condition
He left me here to take the fall

That boy can surely play it rough
He oughta be in handcuffs
Make him wear a ball and chain
Oh he's just a heart stealer
Sweetest kind o' love dealer
He knows how to fix a game

The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio

Lonely heart in distress
Sending out an S.O.S
All across the U.S. of A
Come on back and serve your time
Right her in these arms of mine
Gotta have you home today

FBI CID help me help me help me please

The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975.
