Heartache number one was when you left me I never knew that I could hurt this way

And heartache number two was when you came back again

You came back but never meant to stay

Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score

Every day 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

[ steel - fiddle ]

Heartache number three was when you called me

And said that you were comin' back to stay

Mhm with hopeful heart I've waited for your knock on the door

I've waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches by the number...
