Heartaches by the Number

Johnny Tillotson (born April 20, 1939 in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American singer and songwriter. He enjoyed his greatest success in the early 1960s, when he scored 9 top-ten hits on the pop, country and adult contemporary billboard charts including "Poetry In Motion" and the self-penned "It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'". He also sang "Yellow Bird", an adaptation of the Haitian song. Johnny's version is quoted as being a favorite of the former head of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, because he and his wife had enjoyed it during their honeymoon. (BBC Interview) more »

[VERSE 1]
I've got heartaches by the number when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
O, how my heart was filled, when you come home again
But you came back an' never meant to stay 

[CHORUS:]
Now, I've got heartaches by the number
Troubled by the shore
Ever day I love you more an' more
I've got heartaches by the number
It's a love that I can't win
But the day you stop lovin' me
Is the day my world will end 

[VERSE 2]
Got heartaches by the number
When you called me an' said
You were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for you
But you must have lost your way
