Heartaches by the Number
Harlan Howard
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
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were comin' back to stay
Mhm with hopeful heart I waited for your knock on my door
But you must have lost your way
