Lyrics:

(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
