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 and 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 countin' that's the day my world will end

[ steel - guitar ]

Heartache number three was when you called me

And you said that you were comin' home to stay

With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on my door

I waited but you must have lost your way

Now I've got heartaches...
