Aching, Breaking Heart

About Aching, Breaking Heart

"Aching, Breaking Heart" is a song by George Jones. It was his last single on Mercury Records before moving to United Artists. The song peaked at number five on the Billboard country chart in March 1962. During his tenure with Starday and Mercury, Jones had amassed eleven top-ten hits, with "White Lightning" and "Tender Years" both topping the charts. However, Jones' producer and manager Pappy Daily had secured a more lucrative deal with UA. In the 1994 Mercury Jones retrospective, Cup of Loneliness: The Classic Mercury Years, Colin Escott notes, "Mercury lost George just as he was on the verge of ruling the charts. Art Talmadge had left Mercury Records and gone to United Artists and when George's Mercury contract expired at the end of 1961, Pappy took him to U. A. The first single, the classic "She Thinks I Still Care", was one of seven records George would chart in 1962." "Achin', Breakin' Heart" was part of George's live show for years, as can be heard on the album Live at Dancetown, U. S. A. more »

Well, I have lived a lot and done my part of running 'round
And never did I think I'd let a sweet love get me down
But now I see how wrong I was, you're part of every plan
Perhaps I'll pay but come what may, my heart's at your command

Oh, this aching, breaking heart of mine is crazy over you
And I'm afraid to let you know I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care, I know what you would do
You'd drop me like the others and go find somebody new

Last night I saw you, darling, in the arms of someone new
And I know that you don't love him, you just want to make me blue
I guess you think that hurting me will make me love you more
But someday from you, darling, this old heart will lock its door

Oh, this aching, breaking heart of mine is crazy over you
And I'm afraid to let you know I love you like I do
For if you knew how much I care, I know what you would do
You'd drop me like the others and go find somebody new
