(h. 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 and never meant to stay

Chorus:
Now i've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day i love you more

Now 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 told me you was coming home to stay
With hoping heart i waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way

Chorus:
Now i've got heartaches by the number
Troubles by the score
Every day you love me less
Each day i love you more

Now 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

Ah, the day that i stop counting
That's the day my world will end
