Heartache By The Numbers Testo

(Written by Harlan Howard)

Heartache numbers one
Was when you left me

I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when
You come back again
You came back but never meant to stay

Chorus:
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
Each day I love you more
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end

--- Instrumental ---

Heartache number three
Was when you called me
And said that you were coming
Back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for
Your knock on the door
I waited but you
Must have lost your way

Chorus:
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
Troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
Each day I love you more
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number,
A love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
That's the day my world will end...
