Lyrics:

When loving turns to parting
I'm always the first to leave
Cause when it comes to heartaches
I'd rather give than to receive
I've never cried myself to sleep
just praying I'll get through
I've never lost at love not counting you


(chorus)

Not counting you I've never had a heartache
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you


I've never got down on my knees
and asked the Lord above
If He would only bring to me
the one I'm dreaming of
Begging to be taken back
and swearing I'll be true
Has never crossed my mind not counting you


*chorus*

There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you


There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
No, I've never lost at love not counting you
