Heartaches By The Number Lyrics - Mel Tillis

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 counting that's the day my world will end 

Heartache number three was when you called me 

And said 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 

Now I've got heartaches 

But the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end
