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
When you came back and never meant to stay
And now I've got heartaches by the number, and troubles by the score
And every day you love me less, each day I love you more
Yes I got heartaches by the number, and a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will end
So this is the way it used to go
My granny would sing the first line, and then the whole party would join in and fuck it up
And then somebody'd yell out "Hey hey hey, one singer, one song" and they'd all go quiet again
And heartache number three was when you called me
And you said that you'd be coming back to stay
And with a hopeful heart I've waited for your knock on my door
Yeah I waited but you must have lost your way
And now I've got heartaches by the number, and troubles by the score
And every day you love me less, each day I'd love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number, and a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting, that's the day my world will end
