Heartaches By The Number Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Harlan Howard) 

Heartache number one was when you left me 

I never knew that I could hurt this way 

Heartache number two was when you came back again 

You came back but never meant to stay. 

I've got heartaches by the numbers, troubles by the score 

Every day you love me less, each day I love you more 

I've got heartaches by the numbers, 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 

You said that you were coming back to stay 

With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on my door 

I waited but you must have lost your way.
