| Heartaches By The Number Guy Mitchell 1960 -Written by Harlan Howard -Peaked at # 1 in 1959 -Remake by Johnny Tillotson hit # 35 in 1965 Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score Everyday 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 Heartache number one was when you left me I never knew that I could hurt this way And heartache number two was when you *come* back again You came back but never meant to stay Yes, I've got Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score Everyday 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 Heartache number three was when you called me And said that you were comin' back to stay With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door I waited but you must have lost your way Yes, I've got Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score Everyday 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 TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: *come*: logic and English grammar dictate that this should be "came", as in the next line, but Mitchell clearly DOES sing "come." |
